    Stamped has rivets, milled does not.

        milled is better accuracy and reliability but more weight.

        some people say there is no difference but i prefer a milled receiver over non milled. in the end, it really doesn't matter to me. but if i HAD TO CHOOSE i would prefer milled over non

              Mainly just production cost. A milled receiver has a certain appeal to it that I admit is sexy . Tolerances will be tighter and can make for a more accurate rifle but the design was not made with accuracy in mind. Crazy reliability was the goal and I think thats why someone buys an AK. Personally I think a stamped AK is more attractive but that's just from a historical aspect for me.
