I don't think that milled is better than stamped. I had two milled AK's built on Bulgarian receivers and I sold or traded them. I prefer stamped and I think alot of people here prefer the same.

What kind of budget are you working with? The stamped receivers are lighter than milled, generally. You can pick up an cheapo Romanian for $350-400, but you may have to put some work into it - they sometimes aren't put together right. At the other end are the Arsenal Inc SAM-7 series, for $550-up, and they're very nice indeed.

You can get WASR romanian guns for cheap. You can get a wasr3 which shoots .223's for 308$ plus shipping and FFL fee.
Go to www.gunsnstuff.net and get a catalog they have all kinds of good stuff. |

Well I'd like to clarify that a milled reciever is much better than stamped. People tend to prefer stamped because they are cheaper to buy and alot more AK rifles available are stamped. That being said, a quality stamped reciever will last you 20,000-30,000 rounds so like others said it really doesn't matter. Later on when your AK addiction has set in fully you might want to make "copies" of different AKs then you might get into milled if you want a Russian Type III clone for example.
