It is up to you to be reasonable, and not trash a business online just because you had unreasonable expectations to which the business wouldn't cater.
When that happens, you will be helping other consumers by letting them know what they might expect if they choose to do business with a particular company. I can only guess how many people were spared from having to deal with the pathological liars at Lancaster Arms because those people saw numerous bad reviews, and knew to stay far away.
If any of you have thoughts on all this, and especially if any of you are still owed money or a gun from Lancaster Arms, leave a comment below. I will update this post and this blog as I learn more information about what has become of Lancaster. On a few different Internet message boards, I've seen several people ask, "When is someone going to investigate Lancaster Arms??? Lancaster Arms was investigated by the Goodyear P. Goodyear P. The results of this investigation were as follows: that No criminal act knowingly occurred regarding, repairing, purchasing or other services provided to consumers, prior to January, If purchases were made after January , this may be a criminal act.
At present this department has not received any complaints regarding business transactions with Lancaster Arms after January, It should also be noted the U. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms has also completed a recent inspection of Lancaster Arms regarding federal law, Federal Firearms Dealer Licensing Acts, and federal fraud acts concerning firearms and have concluded that no criminal violations have been committed by Lancaster Arms.
You may choose to lodge your complaint with that office by going to their web site at www. GOV and then following instructions to register a complaint under this division. At this point their office does not find any deliberate criminal or civil fraud regarding Lancaster Arms, but you are more than welcome to state your complaint in writing over the aforementioned manner. The jurisdiction for the geographical area of Goodyear is the Estrella Mountain Justice Court and a claim can be made through them.
You may reach this court, through the website at: www. The U. S Department of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms website is www. The authorities could not find any "intentional" or "deliberate" criminal behavior on the part of Lancaster Arms or it's owner, Chet Durda. They concluded that Lancaster did not "knowingly" commit any criminal acts. To those of us who have followed Lancaster the past couple of years, these findings are a bit amusing.
Over the last two years, this blog has documented several dozen incidents of Lancaster Arms telling people "Your rifle will ship tomorrow", "It will ship next week", "The check is in the mail", etc. Proving that such acts were "intentional" or "deliberate" is the key here. We're talking about a legal standard of proof that is quite high. In my own personal opinion, and in the opinion of many others, I think you'd have to have been born yesterday to believe that these acts many of which I have documented extensively on this blog were not "deliberate" or "intentional".
Still, all of this is actually good news. They are now aware that there have been "issues" with Lancaster Arms, and that these issues have been of such a nature that they felt various investigations, including a criminal investigation, were warranted.
All I ever wanted was for Lancaster Arms to make good on its promises and commitments, and by these actions, Lancaster is now in a position were it has to make good on all of the orders it has received to-date.
That is a good outcome. It sounds as if they are now more proactively managing these issues which, again, is all I have ever wanted. For those of you who are reading this blog for the first time, and are researching a potential purchase from Lancaster, take all of the above into careful consideration.
And decide for yourself if, given the information above, you feel confident placing an order with Lancaster Arms. Speaking strictly for myself, I would never again do business with this company. The problem is most people were complaining about the length of time it took to receive their rifle or not recieving it at all. The few posts that I found where people complained about quality issues with their rifle all had later posts stating that the issues were resolved and warrantied through Lancaster.
I actually went to the facility and met the owner, he was a pleasure to speak with and seemed very knowledgeable, you could tell he cared about making the customer happy and takes pride in his work. All Lancaster rifles come with a lifetime warranty if you are the original owner of the rifle. I even found a review that stated Lancaster rifles shoot as good as an Arsenal at a fraction of the price. One of the best ways to research a company is to google their company name, followed by the word sucks.
I suggest you google lancaster arms sucks. You'll get the info you are looking for. And you'll realize the owner you talked to is a complete liar who was just telling you what you wanted to hear to get your business. Once he has your money, all that will change. I am not one to bash people on the internet, but Lancaster is an exception.
Mine was one of the recalled ones search here in the archives for more into on that one. This was a major cluster for them along with lots of other reported problems.
MANY people on this board and others had very bad experiences with them. Soft rivets, bad barrel ports, lack of function, etc. Atlantic was VERY helpful in my situation and my gun was actually rebarrelled and returned to me within only a few weeks. Others had much worse experience when buying direct. One other point is that if the gun you are looking at comes with a side scope rail its not going to be a standard one.
They were using a UTG rail that had sloped beveled ends where the surplus ones have square ends to provide a stop in some cases.
Lancaster that is. Not Atlantic, can't say enough good things about them. Quoted: I'm considering purchasing a Lancaster Arms AK and have done some research on the company and found a lot of people who have said a lot of negative things about the company. Chet is a liar and a thief. All swindlers appear pleasant and personable. As do many psychopaths. Seems like the the quality of their older rifles were pretty good, but the ones made in the last few years were pretty iffy.
Definitely don't buy them brand new from Lancaster, you'll probably never get your rifle. If you're looking to buy for investment's sake, there are better options. I don't have any exp with Lancaster, But you cant go wrong with a Arsenal through Atlantic fire arms. I could not tell you about the quality of my Rifles - the three I ordered I never received and only because the AG stepped in I got my money back.
If you feel comfortable giving him your money do it. Our Dine at Dome partnership continues throughout Winter with the garden looking spectacular with all the lights.
Government guidance is contradictory given clean indoor air is the real issue. We sanitise the air before each service, but we have poor airflow around the bar. We are not subjecting our team to the known risks of an over-busy tight bar. A All group size limits are removed B Consuming whilst standing and mingling are both allowed. We will not tolerate any harassment of guests or team whatever they choose to do in this regard.
Every business is going to travel its own path. This is not the end as the last week has shown. We ask you to respect our decisions just as we respect your right to choose what works for you.
Will definitely be back soon. What a way to start coming out of lockdown , Dome at The Lancaster Arms. Service , cleanliness, everything just spot on. Highly recommend. What a great job the Lancaster Arms have done with their garden and Gin Terrace — it was a super experience and will, I am sure, be the first of many.
We visited one of the Domes Friday it made a perfect date night with my husband. A really romantic setting cosy, peaceful and warm. Definitely will be booking again!!! Was a lovely surprise for her and she absolutely loved it. Lovely and warm in there and a fabulous Sunday roast sharing board. Great experience thank you Ollie!
