AK - Milled or Stamped

[Dejashoot]

Which is better (not which is cheaper)? Milled is heavier than stamped? Looking at Arsenal's

milled is always going to be more durable then a stamped reciever. if money isnt the issue go for milled, just my 2 cents

I have a stamped Arsenal SGL-21, it's a great AK. In my opinion "milled" is overkill for an AK. Milled or stamped, an AK isn not intended to be a precision rifle.

I've had three brands of AKs, the Arsenal is my favorite. The Arsenal has worked best with PMags - no sanding required, they feed ammo right out of the package.

Ok - I ordered a 7.62x39 Arsenal with stamped receiver. It was actually harder to find one in stock than I thought. Should be here in a couple week.

Congrats! You will love it. Check into a Slide-Fire stock for your AK, they are incredibly fun. You'll feel like your ready to annex the Ukraine.

I agree with checking out the Slide-Fire. Took one out to Dryden, TX once and wasted a ton of round just firing into the mountains.

I have a slidefire on one of my AR's. It is fun for sure.
