What receivers do most of you build your kits on? From scratch (raw stock), blanks (pre-bent), flats (pre-drilled), or FFL receivers(OOW, Vulcan, etc.)?
I'm just curious as to what must ppl use.
Thanks

I had been using bent blanks, because there was no reasonably priced bending alternatives available for bending flats.

That has changed, and so have I.
Tapco has been selling flats for $15 recently, and I picked up one of these bending jigs

I bent 7 flats in one afternoon, each one came out perfect.

I have read that you can not sell a homemade receiver.  
I use Vulcan receivers because I like to have the option of being able to sell it if I tire of the AK.  I paid $50.00 including transfer fee for mine.
