Look closely at the two rivets next to the stock. That marking that looks like a stamp mark in between them is only found on Saiga’s.
The Zhukov Stock is incompatible with a Vepr. Even the pistol grip (Magpul) wouldn’t be able to fit.
Check it out. Vepr’s don’t use that marking.

OK, Im starting to see but can someone explain the elongated dimple just above the mag well on the receiver. Is that simply to hold and align the mag?
I believe it may be an Arsenal. Arsenal Inc. is the only company that I’ve seen that has a dimple above the mag well.
