Receivers

The milled receiver receives extensive and precise machining, and it is this extensive millwork that makes a milled AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped.

Stamped

Stamped receivers begin with a flat sheet of steel and are then formed by the process of precision bending until the receiver is complete. The final components are added, spot welding is provided, and the heavy rivets are inserted that are the hallmark of the stamped AK47 receiver.
