The Yugo AK's use a different receiver since they have thicker trunnions, similar to the RPK. Most of the kits were in a bit worse condition than the Romanians but still good shooters. Only downside to the Yugo rifles is that their bores are NOT chrome lined, hence some pitting due to improper cleaning. Far as I know only Yugo's from the kits were quantity built by Greenlight Arms, who also makes the receivers. Available from SOG and Atlantic Firearms, maybe other places.
Arsenal AK's....if you are referring to "Arsenal of Nevada", these are top of the line US made AK's on both milled and stamped receivers using new Bulgarian kits. "Arsenal" of Galveston TX builds AK's also but they use a 1.6 mm ( thicker ) stamped receiver. From what I gathered on various boards, they can be hit or miss on QC, some folks had trouble with them. Nice rifles otherwise.
