    Default does anyone have a Lancaster AK thats happy with it?

    Arms of America is having an upcoming black friday sale for a milled Bulgarian AK74. Its made by Lancaster though. I did a quick google search and found some very unflattering reviews of Lancaster. Most were about their customer service in regards to not shipping when they said they would,etc. This I'm not too worried about since I know Arms of America already has the product, but then some were about actual problems with the rifle. These are nice looking AK's and if you've noticed from my other posts, I'm currently looking for a Bulgarin Ak-74 (with wood furniture). Just wanted to see if any forum members are satisfied with there Lancaster ak's. Otherwise maybe I shoud go with the stamped bulgarian. Spoke with "Andrew" at AOA and he said "based on Bulgarian parts kits" are very good to excellent condition. What do you think?

    I have a Lancaster AK -- a 47, not a 74. It wouldn't feed HPs at all, so I sent it back for the chamber's ramp to be dremeled. I also threw away the pointless recoil buffer, and it seems to be running better now, but I'm not ready to pronounce it AK-reliable yet.

    I would not put them in the upper tier of Vektor, Fuller, etc.

    Don't have one ... would never buy one either!

    Heard nothing but horror stories, not only about the service but also the product(s).

    Don't own one, but much like you most of what I've read has not been good. While you might get a gun that is 100% you could also be stuck with tons of headaches like plenty of other people.

    I'd give it an official

    yeah, I decided screw Lancaster after reading some of the crap they've put people through.
