Not saying knock offs that show quality aren’t fine but the AK tolerances and the Gerands run in mud. Milled hold up better than stamped. If you’re just shooting up a bar or mall don’t really matter, collecting is different. Somebody is sending cheap shit to assholes. Follow the money. IMO
Stamped guns are fighting in most of the world’s wars. They were all made by the Soviets, or former Soviet satellites, or licensed from same. Only American made AK’s are complete crap, because that’s the only way they can be made at a competitive price point.
