Stamped recievers are made of stamped sheet metal and it is lighter than a milled receiver and the barrel is pressed into front trunion which is rivited into the receiver. A milled receiver is made of a single piece of metal and the barrel is screwed into the receiver. A milled receiver is more durable than a stamped receiver; however, stamped receivers are quite strong too. Among all the Ak's you mentioned, I would reccomend the Vector underfolder. You might also want to consider Romanian AK's as they are cheap and quite reliable. In my opinion, they are the best bang for the buck.

Grab one of the arsenals you will thank me later. Fit, Finish and Quality is superb.
If you can wait, I'd suggest the Arsenal SASM7A1 (not released yet) and welcome to the site.

The barrel can be pressed into a milled as well. |

I like the Arsenal for 'fit' and 'function', but the 'finish' is kind of ...well... awful. (on the stamped versions and a slr95 I had)

But on the M series, the M5 and M7, the finish is simply top notch. One reason you pay so much more for them. Take a look at the pic of the flash suppressor I posted. And here's from a SAS-M7 standard underfolder with the 14/1mm LH threads.

I have no argument with those at all. It's not a slamming by any means. I was just disapointed with the finish on a few. Nothing park and gunkote can't fix

Oh I know, and I agree, the finish on the SLR series is crap, but it's the authentic Bulgarian crap finish....
