The Story

Molot Vepr

The Vepr ("wild boar" in Russian) is built on the receiver of the legendary RPK light machine gun — meaning it's significantly stronger and more durable than a standard AKM. Molot has been producing weapons for the Soviet/Russian military since 1940, and that DNA carries straight through.

RPK heritage means an RPK-thick receiver, RPK-quality barrel, and RPK reliability. It's the AK platform overbuilt to the point of being nearly indestructible.

Add the powerful 7.62×54R cartridge (the same round used by the Mosin-Nagant and PKM machine gun), and you have a rifle with serious historical weight and ballistic punch.

The 7.62×54R cartridge has been in continuous military service since 1891 — making it one of the oldest cartridges still actively used by major militaries today. Firing it is firing a piece of unbroken history.

Real feedback from guests who fired this weapon at our Riga range.

★★★★★

“I've fired AK-47s before, but the Vepr is a step up in every way. More accurate, smoother action, and that heavier barrel makes a real difference on follow-up shots. Worth every euro.”

Lars N. · Oslo
★★★★★

“The Molot manufacturing quality is noticeable immediately. The action is tighter than any AK I've fired, and the accuracy at 25 metres was impressive. Not your typical Kalashnikov experience.”

Marta K. · Kraków
★★★★★

“Came in for a 30-minute session and ended up booking extra rounds for the Vepr alone. The 7.62×39mm cartridge has a satisfying authority to it, and the rifle is simply very enjoyable to shoot.”
