The new VEPR 12 ga shotgun is easily one of the best semi-auto shotguns on the market. The Vepr 12 has a number of features that set it apart from the Saiga 12ga shotgun and really make this a unique out of the box scattergun. More info on the malfunctions with a sight set forward: Due to the overwhelming number of comments regarding the EOTech failures, I wanted to give you more info about the testing I did. What I can say is that I know for certain the malfunctions have absolutely nothing to do with the EOTech specifically. The malfunctions will happen with Aimpoint Pro's, Comp M2, M3's, and even a Sparc mounted with a metal riser mount. These malfunctions were confirmed by the importer and several owners have contacted me saying they have noticed the same issue. Inside the top cover there is a rivet that holds the rail in place. One rivet in the front, over the bolt carrier, and one in the rear. The one in the front sticks down 1/8th of an inch or so while the rear rivet is recessed. The front rivet contacts the bolt carrier during firing, you can clearly see the marks on it. The carrier jumps upwards upon firing and hits the top cover. As evidence of this, my shotgun will eventually pop the top cover open if I fire enough rounds through it due to the carrier hitting the top cover. It usually takes 5-6 rounds. The importer noticed this rivet and removed some material from it and their shotgun worked with an EOTech in that position. I removed some material from my rivet but I still have the issue. I didn't want to remove too much material. As long as you mount the sight to the rear, every sight I mounted worked just fine without causing any malfunctions.
