so i'm not an AK expert. what's the difference between a stamped and milled receiver (yeah i know one is a piece of sheet metal that has been bent, and millied is a solid block that is "cut away")
what's the advantage of one over the other?
why pay $1k when i can get an AK for under $600? I want an AK, but haven't started my research.
Thanks
It would be great if they dropped the SLR designation or simply use SGL cause then, Arsenal, you could sell them legally in CA. It's that easy, simply change the damned name please! How hard is it for us Californians to put money in your pockets seeing as you are the only ones stopping us form doing it, ha.
Looks good btw. But I'd grab an SLR-107CR first.
