I would guess that it stiffens the rifle and improves accuracy, but is it a difference that an ignorant amateur like me would ever notice?
An AK is a close in implement - receiver construction makes little difference - it is a perceived durability issue - there are a lot of stampedAK's out there with zillions of rounds through them.
I have a stamped AK and it is fine. It is a blaster and that is about all that it will ever be. It is not a target rifle.
A Milled receiver is nice - but heavy
Ann AK is something that you carry a lot and shoot little.
