Explain this to me regarding Milled AKs.

Hmm, guess I was wrong on that one.Don't worry about it. Stick around and you will see three more people tell me tonight that AR15 lowers are forged and not milled.
Who says a milled AK reciever is really better? Different, yes. The plan from the start was to make a stamped AK, but it took a while to get it together.
Same thing kinda with a Walther P38 / P1. The plan here from the beginning was to make an aluminum frame.
I am not saying that a milled AK is not better. If the stamped ones are way inferior I would not even consider one.
I am waiting for the America made titanium milled reciever AK !!!

I never said milled was better. My initial question was why are milled receivers so expensive, my second question.was why are US companies not making AKM pattern rifles.
I counted 16 companies and didnt feel like counting the models so I listed them below.

First Question. Milled is expensive because it takes 120 machining operations to make one from a piece of solid rectangular steel .
Second Question. Maybe American companies feel like they can not compete with imports. I wish Ruger would make one.
Are these companies making bolts and carriers?
