Anybody have a pic of a forged upper reciever, before any machining is done to it.

Sort of like those forged lower recievers that were being sold a few years back for people to try and machine for themselves.

I just need a pic.

Thanks!

Don't have a pic, but if you can find a copy of "Black Rifle II" in a gun shop or book store, there are pics in there.  Interestingly enough, the forgings that Colt buys, apparently have the handle which is machined away completely, to make the flat top receiver.  Guess they didn't want to pay for new tooling to make a dedicated flat top forging.
