OK, now you're confusing me---Knowhere in your posts did you mention wanting milled only(unless I missed it).
Then you're asking about ordering from Vector direct---and unless i'm wrong, they don't make a milled AK---so if you went to Pistol Parlor, and they had Vectors, thats what you'd be ordering anyways.
CORRECTING myself--went to the website and first thing I saw was NEW! milled reciever AK's
BUT AT $850 msrp!!! So thats what you're going to order direct? I thought you had $500--a used Arsenal milled could be found for that.
ETA: ironwood designs just makes furniture(stocks, handguards, etc.)
May I suggest waiting for the next Crossroads show, then looking over and handling an assortment of different Ak's---then making a COMMON sense choice of what fits your budget and is quality enough----seems you're bouncing from post to post and forum to forum but still not having a clue what you want. I saw you asked earlier today over in AKforum what a milled reciever was, so is that why you are now onto that?
Just a suggestion
