[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Milled Receiver or Not?

Posted: 10/5/2005 7:25:45 AM EDT

I have an old russian parts kit that is milled, being somewhat new at this I was wondering if I should try to go with the expense of having this one built with a milled receiver or try to allow a gunsmith build it with a stamphere

I am new to this stuff myself, but seeing as your parts are for a milled receiever, I would stick with the program and build on a milled receiver instead of trying to make the parts work on a flat.

a milled gun isnt for eveyone
by the tie its said and done you could easyly have 800 more into the gun
if you are new id say buy a stamped parts kit and go with that
1000 is more than most are willing to pay for an ak

Check to see if it has a barrel pin. if not, your barrel is threaded and i'm told won't work in a stamped receiver. Besides, your kit dosn't have a trunion. The treaded milled receiver from Firing Line is expensive, about $400 then $200 if you want them to build it. I saved and saved and went that route and now have a great AK.... from Russia with Love!!!

Pix?

The Russian milled samples I have seen are very nice looking.

eta: PS: Is this it?

If so, that is one of the best looking I have seen. Anywhere.
