I was just at the local gun show and there were two red, side folding, triangular stocked, all wood furniture including the grip AKs marked as Lancasters. I'm still new to AKs, so it is hard to judge. They looked OK, but the furniture was not nearly as nice as my Lancaster Polish underfolder (they had a plywood grip), the bolt wasn't chromed, and they were marked model #3941 and were priced at $1,000.
I came home to check them out on Lancaster's site, but couldn't find anything about Model #3941 or triangular side folders. What I did find was a warning about counterfeit Lancasters. Do any of you Lancaster experts have an opinion on these that you would share based on my description? Thanks, Kerry |

Thanks, Kerry that doesnt sound like a lancaster at all, unless someone had their kit sent in to be built by them. |

A friend of mine just got a new wooden stocked Lancaster and it's bolt carrier had the bolt in the white. Don't get why they're doing that... Don't know, they started it about a year ago as far as I know. The website shows most but not all of their rifles are that way. |

Lancaster has been having fakes show up. It even says so in there web site. call them and ask about the serial number. 1000 seem high too. PLEASE NOTE:
AGAIN THERE ARE GUNS SHOWING UP WITH THE LANCASTER NAME AND ARE NOT OUR GUNS! Call 623 877 4356 to verify if the rifle is authentic. UNLESS IT SAYS LANCASTER, MADE IN GOODYEAR ,ARIZONA ONLY. IT IS NOT A LANCASTER ! |
