It also had the original offset adjustable notch-and-post iron sights that could be dialed from 50 to 1,000 meters and adjusted for windage.

Samozaryadnyy Okhotnichiy Karabin, obrazets 1994 goda «Vepr» (Self-loading Hunting Carbine, model 1994 - "Wild Boar") is a series of Russian semi-automatic hunting rifles based on the RPK light machine gun and produced by Molot-Oruzhie from 1994.

The Vepr I was based on the RPK and had a heavier receiver and a thicker barrel than the surplus AK rifles. It also had the original offset adjustable notch-and-post iron sights that could be dialed from 50 to 1,000 meters and adjusted for windage. It was designed to take proprietary polymer magazines rather than surplus Milspec or commercial Saiga-type models.

The Vepr II was an improved version created for Wolf Performance Arms in 2012. It had a phosphated finish, higher-quality machining, and a hammer-forged barrel. It also had a redesigned spring-loaded firing pin and redesigned notch-and-post iron sights. The hooded blade front sight was moved from the end of the barrel to in front of the gas block. The notch rear sight at the front of the receiver is a flip-up version calibrated for either 100 or 300 meters. The russet-colored polymer magazines were repainted black to match the new darker finish. Left-handed thumbhole stocks were available by special order.

The American government placed a ban on their direct importation from July, 2014 due to the political situation with Russia. This was expanded on June 19, 2017 by a specific Treasury Department ban on the importation of Molot firearms for their knowing involvement in a scheme to use their company as a front for Kalashnikov Concern arms sales.
