Russian Type 2 AK: Introducing the Milled Receiver
This guide details the key identifying features of the Russian Type 2 AK's milled receiver, as explained by Ian McCollum. It highlights the receiver's construction from a solid steel block, specific design elements like the buttstock socket and reinforcement rails, and contrasts it with later models. The durable, albeit heavy, slab-side magazine and thicker dust cover are also noted as characteristic of this early AK variant.
