Yeah, basically the receiver starts as one big chunk of steel and they drill it or hone it it out into the actual receiver. The drawback of it is its noticeably heavier than an AK that’s made out of stamped steel, but from my understanding one that is made in the honed steel process, can fire for a lot longer without jamming because the steel does not expand with the heat as much as stamped steel
If the term honed is incorrect, I apologize that’s just the term that I heard used when a first sergeant held two separate AK up to me Talked about the difference between the stamped and what he called the hone one. And it was noticeable difference
thx,
I thought it was stamped or milled
you are looking for “milled”
