I hate MIM parts. Some of these new guns use a lot of that, Remington especially.

At least Rugers are cast steel, not MIM. Haven't heard of an investment cast steel part breaking.

A slab of "steel" like a recoil lug cracking, gotta be MIM... Real steel won't do that. They probably put stress on that part, cranked down on the barrel as they screwed it in place.

You still do not get the fact it is NOT a MIM part?

Some of the best planer blades are sintered steel... the abuse they get is orders of magnitude greater than any rifle part...


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
