I did not say it wasn't true,, And it still doesn't make much sense.
The original AK was built with a milled receiver and is a couple lbs heaver than the pressed steel sheet metal.
But it had a screwed in barrel, which made timing and bolt/carrier head spacing much harder to manufacture. <<< Read expensive to build.
When they switched to sheet metal, they eliminated the screw in barrel and opted for a pin to lock the barrel to a trunnion. <<< Read cheaper to build
I guess the question should be: If the DoD has an RFQ out, What are they going to do with AK's??
