If you get a reciever from a reputable source they are comparable with the com-block originals. One you should be able to trust 100% for function is Nodak.
+1 to this. To my knowledge, Nodak has been one of the few cases of an American company doing it just as well as the original factories with fully heat treated receivers.
I know we can do the same for barrels. We just haven't had the will to do so. Perhaps eventually that will change, with the barrel ban. I would love to see a quality US barrel, hammer forged, chrome-lined, proper twist rate. I was just reading about the machinery and process... Ruger has the machines and has opened up to taking contracts from outside sources...
Blue-Jack has made some Krink barrels that show promise. Of course with those we will have to wait some time to see how they last durability wise. But he has made them to correct specs and chromed - so at least that much is right.
What about I.O.? I can't find anything on them here. And how common are good deals on Arsenals? There's an SAM7 for $950 right now and I don't want to miss out if that pretty solid.

I.O. (Inter Ordnance) AK's are absolutely craptastical.
Need more info on the M7, as there were/are several variations.

Arsenal makes a SA-M7-32 which is a SA-M7 classic for California. I think I just found my next rifle. Thanks for all the information in this thread.
