I'm looking to buy a good quality AK with the dark red / dark steel Russian finish. I found these two guns on Atlantic Firearms:
http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/beta/storeproduct655.aspx
The "Russian Red" at $850. Beautiful furniture, but is the Russian quality superior to most AKs?
And then:
http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/beta/storeproduct629.aspx
The Lancaster Arms russian red styled AK. At $640, $200 cheaper than the Russian one.
Questions:
1. What makes the $200 difference price tag, if anything?
2. Is the Lancaster finish as authentic and dark as the real Russian one? In the photos, it looks a little like a lighter finish.
3. Which is the higher quality AK overall, or are they both high end?
4. Photos or personal experience with either would be great
thanks!
