same ak receiver re-useable?

[SJgunguy24]

Sounds like your asking if an AK is like and AR and you can switch the upper. If so, the answer is no.

If your asking if you could cut the rivets of a reciver and disassemble the gun, then re-rivet another kit onto that reciver, I think that might be possible, but not sure.

Anything can be done.

depends on your skills

Exactly.

The main reason people demill their AK's and rebuild them is because something went wrong with the receiver.
It could be rail problems or the carrier not sliding properly or the trunions ending up crooked in the receiver.

All of these are fixed by making a new receiver.

I've repaired and rebuilt a couple of RAW AKs before. Those recievers are pretty much priceless and are impossible to replace. Drilling out and replacing rails isn't overly complicated, the hardest part is saving the center support.

More welds = more fun!

You can if you are careful demilling it, but with the price of flats, why not just go buy a flat?

I have several receivers sitting around that I removed and sold the parts kits.

Removing the 10 rivet heads and drilling out the tg rivets only takes a few minutes.

Soft flats certainly are easier to remove from trunions than heat treated receivers...
