Looking for milled ak47 dimensions

[maccmill]

I'm working as a machinist in Roseville right now, and I'm looking for resources to make a milled AK receiver for a personal build. Does anyone know where one could find blueprints? Or even if anyone in the area owns a gun I could measure, that'd be even better. I can cough up a modest amount of cash for taking the time to let me fondle your AK too. The ideal model I'm looking for would be the polish milled variety, but if I can get specs off an arsenal or centurion that would work too. Thanks guys.

Why don't you build one on a folded receiver and design one from that. Thats the best thing I can suggest. As I've never seen a set of ordinance prints for one.

Prints are online I think, but if you want something to hold and measure consider buying a few cut up receivers.

+1 I've looked around online quite a bit already, I could bend up stamped blank ones all day but I want to take advantage of the CNC Mill I have access to. Ive heard all the stories about milled ones cracking under full auto, but I don't really care since it'll be a civi gun anyway, and I'll take the accuracy advantage. Plus it'd be a hell of a lot cooler to say you made yourself.

What do you mean by cut up?

What do you mean by cut up?

demilled receivers are flame cut, sawed or crushed

FYI Apex has Polish cut receivers like the one pictured above...but if you receive one that looks lke that you are in for a long journey. The front of the receiver in the pic has more damage than you want. Thats why its smart to get 3 or 4.

Yeah I noticed they look pretty jacked up, not sure if Id be able to get exact enough dimensions off of it, but it would probably be helpful just to have a few as reference.. Isnt that pretty illegal to weld one back together though? Anyway, PM will be sent shortly, it'd be neat to check out what you have going on.
