Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cast vs. Forged Oly Receivers?
Posted: 6/30/2003 12:22:23 PM EDT
I own four Bushmasters but have never owned or handled an Oly.  Spotted a pre-ban Oly CAR at a local gunshop for $899.  I did'nt examine it but it appeared to be in good condition.  I understand Oly had some problems with their cast receivers.  How do I tell the difference between forged and cast?

Thanks,
