THey match o.k., are investment cast (by ruger reportedly) and are as close to the A1 form as you'll likely get without actually getting an original. I've got two rifles built on them and have worked fine for years.

They are Cast Receivers - Built like tanks!!!

.color is abit off but looks okay to me .. The Fit is Perfect !!

Essential Arms  I'm thinking about getting their steel lower for use with my .50 Beowulf (added weight to cut down on recoil).
