Bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with it. Purchase/shipping from Legion USA to my FFL was fast and hassle-free. Opted for the GK-02 muzzle brake, 10 round OEM magazines, the recoil shock absorber and the Russian military sling. I am not a fan of the black polymer found on most VEPR-12's so I was thrilled to find this edition with the Russian red wood furniture. The actual gun is even more beautiful than the pictures, I get compliments every time I take it to the range (it tends to draw an audience when I pull it out of the case and put it through its paces). I have run about 200 rounds through it so far and it has performed flawlessly. No jams, misfires or stovepipes...every round has cycled perfectly. It is a monster of a shotgun, but the recoil is pretty tame.....for a 12 gauge.... I would definitely recommend to a friend.
