Jpanzer 1,265 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 As promised, some pics of my new Lancaster AK 74. New US made 4140 chrome moly - chrome lined barrel, Elk River receiver,on a Bulgarian AK 74 parts kit. Plum furniture, zigzag muzzle brake, Bulgarian circle 10 mag included. Lifetime warranty for the original owner. Bulgarian mags fit perfectly, East German bakelite mags have a bit of wobble, but nothing major. Very happy with the fit and finish or the rifle, but have had it less than a week so I've not made it to the range yet. Got some Bulgarian wood I've refinished ready to install, and will post more pics when I add that and a few other goodies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dngrspot 3 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 That is a good looking firearm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Awesome rifle. Be sure to update us with the wood furniture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Very nice rifle Bulgarian mags fit perfectly, East German bakelite mags have a bit of wobble, but nothing major. Can we give this a break? This term is so horribly misused that nobody knows what it means any more. All Kalashnikovs have mag wobble. Every single one. They're not AR15s. Complaining about AK mag wobble is like complaining that you have to manually operate the bolt hold open on an AR15 when changing magazines. FYI: Century hogged out some WASRs back in the 90s to such an extent, that the mags would swivel to such an extreme, the gun would malfunction. If you're not having this issue - you don't have "mag wobble" worth complaining about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
