Oh dear, where to start...
I finally made it to the range this morning to test out my new Lancaster Bulgarian Red Wood AK74. The first magazine of surplus 5.45 fired at an old silhoutte target yielded this:
Yep, that's right. Keyholing at twenty-five yards. Headless, I feel your pain.
We then tried a magazine of new production Wolf 5.45 which produced similar results, and even tried a few rounds with the muzzle brake off. Same results.
As per their excellent reputation, Atlantic Firearms is on the case, and I have no doubt that the matter will be resolved.
I'm just a bit bummed that such a beautiful and seeming well assembled rifle would have such issues.
Drats.
