I heard that those Romanian AK’s use a stamped receiver. Are those made here machined? The Romanian ones I see at gun shows sure look cheaply made.

Interestingly, most of the Romanian WUM stamped-receiver AKs are actually AK74 receivers with 7,62x39mm barrels, sometimes 5,45mm or the 5,56x45mm round used in the M16/AR15 rifles.

That includes four owned by my fiancée. She's very fond of the Romy AKs.
