That's for CERRO. Another company. Go to www.cardinal-forge.com for info on Cardinal Brass & Aluminum Forging.

There is a tacked thread with tons of "markings" and what they stand for at the top menu.

It seems they are supplying forgings for a lot of makers. My Model 1 Sales CH is a Cardinal.

Nothing to worry about. Cardinal forge has been a supplier for quite a long time. It's nothing new.

Of course they have not been supplying aluminum as long as Harvey Auminum(first supplier to ArmaLite and Colt)

I think we all want the companies that built our AR to do their own forging so we can argue over who is better. But in reality they are all the same. (For the most part) I know that some of them have looser fitting parts (Olympic) and some fir nice and right (RRA).
