My friend said he was going to the gun shop today, so I said fuck it and went too. Of course I had to buy something. :excited
They had a lot of AK’s and AR’s in stock, but I ended up with this one. Its a Lancaster Arms AK47 in Russian Red.

Its actually a US made/built AK lol, Im not 100% on how Lancaster puts them together, but I have heard they make some parts themselves and use Romanian AK parts. Their website doesnt offer much help: [http://www.lancasterarms.com/index.htm](http://www.lancasterarms.com/index.htm)

Thanks, I live in Vermont so I dont know how NY is with certain guns or how you go about buying one from another state, but I went to The Powderhorn in Williston VT. They have a lot of guns, hundreds in stock, just about anything you can think of.

All AK-47’s fire the 7.62X39mm round. Plus its only about 12 bucks for a box of 40 rounds.

Well I guess if you classify to ak74 rifle differently but its the same rifle with a caliber I prefer. Shoots 5.45x39 alot more accurate at longer distances. But I am pretty sure the 7.62 are less expensive plus stopping power.

no, because when getting an ak you can either get the standard 7.62 or 5.45 which is what m4 and such shoot. Alot of people are shooting the 5.45 now but I would still probably get the 7.62 in the end.

The m4 shoots the 5.56 nato or .223. You can also get an AK47 that shoots 5.56. AK74’s shoot 5.45x39 and it’s very cheap. I think we sell it for 5 bucks for 30 rounds. 5.56 and 5.45 are close in diameter and size, but are not interchangable.

That one was $803 on the price tag, but my friend knows him so he knocked a little off. They have two prices on their price tags, credit card price and cash price. Cash price is obviously cheaper.
They have other AK’s for much less, the cheaper ones were around $550-$650, I didnt like how they looked. The wood wasnt even finished on one lol, but its an AK, you gotta expect it. The Lancaster I bought uses a Tapco G2 trigger, so thats nice to know I shouldnt have any trigger slap too.
