Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cast receivers??
Posted: 11/6/2001 10:25:25 AM EDT
I just read the review of a DPMS Lo-Pro carbine in American Rifleman. It stated that the lower was a cast piece & the upper was an aluminum alloy extrusion.

Any other manufacturer use cast lowers or uppers??

Aren't Bushmaster & Armalite upper & lowers forged??

What about Olympic?

only the "plinker" model ($599) on the olympics use a cast lower.  everything else is forged.  not sure about the uppers though
