There
are two basic types of AK receivers. One being the
"Ribbed" cover and the other being the
"Non-Ribbed". The ribbed receiver cover is
painted black with raised bumps in the metal to increase
strength & durability. The ribbed versions are commonly
seen on modern Eastern Bloc AK's. The non ribbed
version are relatively similar in design, instead they are a
blued shiny metal and lack the raised bumps of the ribbed
version. The non ribbed versions are commonly seen on
Chinese AKs imported in to the U.S. The non ribbed
version has has numerous design flaws, illustrating why it
was replaced. While the non-ribbed cover is acceptable
in design it is easily dented and or rusts in humid
climates. The ribbed version can be bought for
$10.00-$15.00 through shotgun news, however the non ribbed
version usually cost more because the importation of Chinese
parts in to the U.S. has been stopped.
