Pistol | Glass | Milsurp Megathread of the day: Themed Day | Politics They found this out with the M1 Carbine, and the M1A1 receivers and op rods, its no suprise that the same could go wrong with a cast 03A3 receiver.Welcome to /r/guns! Please read the rules, the FAQ, and search before posting. When you take a design that was drop forged and machined, then duplicate it by casting without making alterations specific to casting you will have problems. When a product is designed from the begining to be investment cast the designer engineers every angle and radius with casting in mind. Seems to me they made some Model 77 rifles with drop forged receivers, but I don't remember the details.

The Rugers may have never had a blow up related to bad castings, but the same can't be said for National Ordnance 03A3 clones. Theres quite a bit of difference between a receiver cast by a company that has put a lot of time effort and research into making cast receivers and a fly by night operation in a former soviet pesthole.

I'm not an metal expert but if cast receivers are not safe to shoot then I guess we should get rid of all our Ruger model 77's.
