Milled, stamped...........Does anyone know of a stamped receiver falling apart or otherwise shitting the bed????? Ever?????? Other than feeling more sturdy, is there really an advantage that is worth the extra money?

The earliest stamped Type 1 receivers did fall apart and didn't hold up too well but I'm pretty sure that is nonexistant with the modernized stamped receivers.

People say that accuracy is improved from a milled receiver, but not a significant enough improvement to justify the extra hundred and change.

Strictly for collecting purposes though, I would like to own a milled Arsenal one day.

I bought a Century built Yugoslavian underfolder this spring from my local Dunhams. It cost me $450. It shoots minute of bad guy all day long. It's way too much fun to shoot. It wasn't designed to be a sniper rifle. Nothing wrong with the plastic, but I still want to change to wood foregrips. Nice thing is with the Yugo magazines, is that they hold the bolt open on an empty mag.




Check these guys before you buy.
