Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help, can't find thread on identifying cast vs. forged
Posted: 4/18/2006 4:38:14 PM EDT
I have an Olympic Arms recever, and I am trying to figure out if it is cast or forged...can someone iether point me to the thread or point out what features will let me know?  The receiver is about 2 years old, which could mean either cast or forged...

Like an idiot, I posted before checking Oly's website...they actually have an excellent picture FAQ to identify cast vs. forged.  Sweet, I thought all this time mine was cast, but it is actually forged!

I am pretty sure the raised lettering is specific to a cast FSB (vs forged).
