I guess what I'm trying to ask is--- I'm not a gunsmith by any means. I do try and read all I can about a product before I buy.I shoot alot, all informal paper punching. But I do like products that WORK.It does not matter what brand--- When it needs to go bang etc etc. Just talked to my local gunsmith about what he thought mechanically(forged receiver only) He said Fulton `Armory makes a forged receiver and there barrels and mil spec parts kits are better than the rest. Thanks Kurt
