AK-47.net: Receiver Covers

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.
