If rivits are holding your front and rear trunnions in, it's stamped. As are all WASR 10s
ETA: Look at your receiver, see how it is folded sheetmetal. |

Stamped AK's have a small oval/bubble shaped indention above the magwell, milled versions have a longer, much larger, rectangle shaped area cut out in the same spot.

The left side pic is a WASR with no dimple, but rivet for the inserts for the single stack mags. |

That one with the yugo grip has dimples. The second image, of a wasr, does not. |

As MisterPX noted - milled receivers are threaded or bored for the stock and barrel attachments, so they don't have rivets holding the trunions to the receiver. Stamped guns get machined pieces of steel riveted to the receiver to accept the stock and barrel (stock trunion and barrel trunion), so have those big rivets. Dimples to help position the magazine are optional - the grooves on the milled receiver are to reduce weight somewhat in that non-critical area. ETA fix MisterPX's name |
