I see.I have a Robinson Arms Vepr, with the ugly heavy buttstock that I converted to a square rifle. And recent slantback imports.
For most people FM Vepr stands for squareback import.
The post in question has a TGI Knoxville marked rifle, with an ACE stock.
Still I would choose a Vepr (any version) over any other 7.62x39 semiauto. I have a few Valmets that are worth 3-4x more but besides being collectibles having higher values I don’t think they’re any better in this category.
