Customer Reviews for Molot VEPR Pioneer *CA Compliant* Semi-Automatic 223 Remington/5.56 N

I will never sell this rifle. The upper end of AK rifles. The overall layout, light recoil, and recoil impulse make it feel closer to an sks than an AK. The trigger is better than most, and has greatly improved with use. The factory mags are ok, will accept .223 AK mags and ak74 mags with the tab filed. It will hang up sometimes on last round of 74 mags. The factory mag release is ok for target shooting, not great for speed reloads. My biggest problem with the rifle is it did not come with a scope mount. The receiver has the standard AK siderail, but it's mounted higher on the receiver and standard AK optic mounts are too high. I plan on making my own mount out of 1/2 inch aluminum angle iron, or you can live with a really tall AK mount. I would definitely buy another pioneer or vepr super in any caliber if I found another for reasonable price.
