My unbolted action 54r

Post by Sirex »

So, been doing some stuff here over the holiday break. On the Vepr 7.62x54r, I intalled a heat shield under the handguard, installed a budget scope for now, and some dynamat on the mount to deaden some recoil to the scope, hopefully eventually getting a POSP scope. Installing a short picatinny rail on the underside of the receiver for a bipod. I will say, I hate loading the rimmed rounds in this this, but love shooting it.

Question I have on the Vepr 54r is can it handle 175-180gr rounds or like the Romak III PSL is it not advised due to stretching the receiver?

Yes, it can handle heavier ammo.
