T81 rifle receiver stamped steel thickness

[Canada tail]

Hi All,
Can anyone measure your receiver thickness ? The PLA military ones are 1.5mm steel stamping and I want to know if that is the case for our t81s. I also wanna know if the insufficient receiver thickness has contributed to the bent rifles we saw recently.

Thanks !

Its not the receivers that are bent, it's the barrel trunnions are not aligned with the axis of the reciever.

H@#$, Id still run that gun bent or not.

Unfortunately my mic's battery is dead. Eyeballing mine though, with a tape measure, it looks like it's a bit thicker than 1mm. Could be wrong. I know most of the ak's vary in gauge thickness so this is likely the same kind of deal.

If anyone else has mic measurements it would be appreciated.

A receiver like this is also heat treated to prevent wearing out and cracking;
