Well use your head, untill you are sure.. To ATF the reciver is a gun, and a shoe lace is a full auto machine gun..
I have questions I might like to ask, but fear to ask as I have no intent to get you busted.
If you can determin the contry of origin that should be safe. If we knew that we might be able to help better, but I would refain from posting any pics untill you are sure there is no hole where it is shown in the picture, and never was..
If you can run a search of SAR-1 and some how get a close up shot you will see 2 dents one as a 'X" and the other a 'Y'. The Y is where that hole would be.
Yugo's and Chi com don't have nay dents, but the area was fixed either, as no hole was ever drilled there for imported models.
It is true with giood welding skills you could fill and blend in so to the eye no one could tell, but you would never fool x ray, and other machines made to look where the human eye can't. Under professional scrutiny a fill in repair would stand out like a sore thumb..
The risks are not worth it.
If you can see import markings there is a better chance the gun/reciever never had this hole.

Well the great is it a full auto or is it a semi and is it salvageable debate is now over. I can now say it is not salvageable and couldn't tell you if it was ever full auto! I am assuming it was it is cut into multiple pieces with a large chunk of receiver missing I will send pics off all the parts and see if someone can tell me what I can use to start a new AK and what is trash. The barrel is super short so I'm wondering if it wasn't an AK 74 instead of a AK 47. Let me know I will post pics as soon as I get batteries for the cam every set I have is D E D dead!

If that's all you were concerned over, don't worry about it.
You've got a box of junk (legally speaking).

Yea I know apparently he didn't even look over the parts gun when he got it just left it in the box and brought it to me!
That's just a generic AK parts kit like the ones that were imported in mass quantities a few years ago. All you need to complete it is a receiver and 6 US-made parts to comply with the ban on imported "non-sporting firearms". The most commonly available US made parts for compliance are the hammer, trigger, disconnector, pistol grip, muzzle device, and gas piston. The US-made semi-auto receiver counts towards that total of 6 that you need.
Edit: Interestingly, you have two gas tubes, two buttstocks, and two handguards. Nice to have spares
Edit2: That is a 16" barrel, and unless the bore is .22cal instead of .30cal, it couldn't have been an AK74, because the AK74 is the 5.45mm version. AK74s have 16" barrels too.

What you've got there is 95% of a parts kit, plus one extra buttstock and gas tube.
The trigger group is for a select fire rifle. There's nothing illegal about that unless you use it when you assemble a rifle.
To assemble it you will need, a receiver, a trigger group, rivets, the pins, shepherds hook, and PG nut and bolt and one other US part on the ATF list to make it legal, (I'd go with a US made pistol grip). The parts aren't that expensive and you could probably get them all for around $100.
Assembling it does require some tools and some work.
It's not worthless though. Last I checked these parts kits were going for around $175.

You have a Romanian "G" type. Even before these were chopped up, many of them were semi auto guns. But it matters not now, as your receiver has been destroyed as per regulations, and it's considered scrap.
Elmer, the cheapest Romy kit I've seen recently was $200, and that was a fluke. Many are going for over $300 now! (Yikes!)

Yes the reciever or whats left of it is standard de-milled.... had you mentioned it was a torched recieve we would have known you were in the clear long ago.. LOL
When I saw the thumb nails i was going balistic. Once I saw the chop job i was much relieved.
You need the parts as stated above by elmerfudd .
If no one here can help you I know another site that can. If you choose that option drop me a pm. I am not about to post a competitive site link in the open.

Moosehunt, If what you say is true, there will be a lot of unhappy owners of about everything, from Remington autoloading shot guns to anything that is semi auto. Lots of American guns more or less always hunting guns, or made as hunting guns, since most of them first were arms of war in some other configuration.
I wonder if finally the Germans will win the patent problem for our Springfield 03? Since we stole Mauser's patent in the first place.
Would you suppose this will also include all of semi auto Browning designs too?
I can't even begin to list all the semi autos made here, that run just about the same way.
