Embarrassing question for AK gurus
So... um... how do you tell the difference between "machined" and "milled" receiver covers?

I know the milled receivers have a pronounced indention on the right side of the gun. I don't know what you mean by "machined". Do you mean "stamped"

Milled means it started out as a solid block of metal, and whatever wasn't needed was ground away. Stamped means it started out as a sheet of metal, and then was formed in a press. Thus, anything stamped is cheaper and quicker to produce.

Quote:
I think a side-by-side comparison of the two types, pointing out the differences, would be a worthwhile addition to the AK gallery page similar to how the M16 gallery has close-ups of upper and lower receivers, telling how to distinguish them.

Isn't the stamped one the one with the ribbed top cover, and the milled one is the one without?
Or is it the other way round?
