I'm thinking of buying this AK from Atlantic Firearms......any thoughts or opinions on this model, good or bad?

Atlantic firearms - AR15 & AK47 rifles - Olympic arms at wholesale prices.

Good rifle, but for the same amount get the Lancaster. better finish, G2 trigger, receiver, and lifetime warranty.

This is the link to the black poly, but I like the wood!

Same rifle...pretty good guns, unlike the Lancaster, these guns are brand new...which means nothing really.

I've heard that these import SSR-85's have the slant cut welded on is this true I don't know if I'd like that.

Most time, if they are welded, they are spot welded (one or two) and can be removed with a little effort.

Wow, AKs sure have gone up over the last few years prices at my local gun show they were $300.00-$350.00 (new).

Depends on the model/country of origin...

ALL AKs need a good home.

I would break out the C.C. if I could find a couple for 300 again. A good SKS costs that now.

I ended up ordering the Russian Red Lancaster from East Coast Firearms. Pics will be along in a week or two when I finally get my sweaty hands on it. I also picked up 10 pre-bans from Copes Distributing and a case of Wolf from Aim. I can't wait
