I was wondering if there was a way to tell whether a lower was cast or forged. The DPMS is the one in question. Thanks |

Well I was gonna have my local dealer order me a lower assembly from RRA but when I walked into his shop...he had this DPMS sitting in a corner that he had just received in for someone else (never paid) so I looked at it...looked too smooth for being cast, so I went ahead and got it. Then after I started thinking about it I thought well I better ask. Thanks guys...It is forged...much to my relief. |

To tell the DPMS cast from forged, if the lettering and logo is raised (except for the serial number, which is stamped) then the receiver is cast. This is a cast receiver very similar to DPMS's cast receiver:  If the lettering and logo is engraved or stamped in, it is forged. |
