It’s finally come the time that I’m going to get myself a solid AK platform. I want to keep it under $2000. I’ve always loved the Krebs Custom shop guns, back in the day they were made on VEPR platforms. I’ve also always wanted a VEPR. I reached out to Krebs, and they informed me that they no longer use VEPRs after they were banned for import, and now use Polish parts. Has anyone used these newer Krebs? I would love some insight. With the obscenely high price and scarcity of the VEPR 762x39 rifles, is there another Brand rifle that would be comparable? I want to eventually SBR and suppress it.
