Some people may be put off by the 1.6 receiver used but the same can be said for the OOW not being completely heat treated..Both work I now for a fact and work well..It will most likely be a great rifle it is a AK
 .. A one year warranty to boot, I would probably go with their Ohio Rapid Fire built German 47 but thats just me..I dont think you'll go wrong with any of Blain's ( Atlantic Firearms) stuff really..

It's non traditional and there are a lot of AK guys (including myself) who are sticklers for authenticity.
No biggie as far as function goes. |

now if we could find some chicom kits it would be close enough for me. did the Albanians use 1.5mm receivers on their AKM as well? |

Absolutly none...I've found them harder to build on personally, but you dont have to worry about that since it's already built..
They function just as well.. |

I recommend Blaine and the rifle because I purchased this same rifle from him about 2 months ago. The only problems that I have was a loose fitting front stock that I have since fixed.

Not to hijack from Atlantic, but if your looking for a really good AK (74) under $650
Then see this thread in the EE |

Just shot them an email about it and the vector clasic. What are your feeling on the Vector Classic? I think I like the reds rather than the blonds...... but they both look nice! Sucks that I can only get one for now.....

My friend recently purchased one from Atlantic. He was pleased with the cost and service. Since, I have had a chance to go to the range with him and shoot it. First impression is that it is very solidly built and a little heavier than a Sar. Trigger is crisp and breaks btw 5-6 lbs maybe. The heavier receiver, I believe, makes it a little more accurate than other AKs I have shot. The finish also is nice. You would not be disappointed in this gun. |
