Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Are all Bulgarian 7.62 RPK's built on milled recievers?
Posted: 11/2/2004 7:20:25 PM EDT
Thats how it would appear from the Arsenal of BG website. Does anyone know different?

Yep, the Bulgarians kept their milled receivers for the 7.62x39mm guns.  The Russians sent some AKM's down to the Bulgarians, and I *believe* that the Bulgarians tooled up to produce the AKM for export in limited numbers, but the milled receiver is king in Bulgaria for 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm.

The only stamped receivers that I know for sure were actually Bulgarian were the 5.45x39mm rifles and RPK's.

Thanks Templar, I thought that was the case. I wonder when ORF will come out with their milled 7.62 reciever? The only other choice would be Firing Line, but I've heard that their recievers are very well built.
