It would be great to find a raw forging, but they appear to be few and far between. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the first few xm148's were castings, but that they had a "cracking" problem. Barring finding a raw forging, anyone have any knowlege about using billet 7075 or 6061 to machine a receiver?  any ideas/suggestions?

The drawing calls for 7075 forging or 6065 for billet. Member rncbinc is hopefully close to having 80% 203 receivers available

Check www.gunbroker.com for receiver forgings. I found 2 and snatched them up...haven't seen any since but they come up for sale from time to time.  I am still waiting on the ATF for paperwork on my finished and 80% receivers, they take a long time but it will be worth the wait. The 80% receivers I am trying to get made are 6061 T6 billet.  The hunk of aluminum that goes into the mill is huge!
