Looking for advice on an AK.  Here is what I need:

Milled receiver, I had bad exp with an Egyptian stamped one

Must take a Blank Adaptor

Must be authentic to the Vietnam era

Must be an underfolder

Any of the US makers doing this?  

Thanks,

Luke

Sounds like you want a Polytech Legend. They have milled receivers and are true to the Vietnam era. I think you could build a copy from any milled receiver though for less than a Legend.

This will be for general shooting and for static display with the entire storage unit of Viet era stuff I have LOL.  I did a couple of Vietnam reenactments.  Interesting to say the least.  

My only exp with stamped recievers was with a Maddi, and it developed a hump/bend in the bottom of the reciever after a couple thousand rounds.

Would you be interested in a dummy?  There's a guy out there making dummy aluminum recievers.  Do a web search for Siler's Militaria.  I bought one of his AKMS recievers and built a dummy on it.  They're awesome!
