Does anybody know what forgings Del-Ton uses for their A2 uppers? I called and asked but was told it was information they couldn't give out... OK, company policy is company policy, I get it. Does anybody have a clue? Also, what has been the general consensus on BCG, general fit and finish, etc? Thanks! ( yeah, I'm building another one...)

EDIT;  I 'm just curious.... I guess in the end aluminum is like marble, it's not the raw material; it's what the machinist creates from  the forging.

2nd EDIT; checked both of my Stags and they both have Cerro Forge ( keyhole ) marks... how about that? I've built both of my guns as I live in the P.R.K.

I've purchased four stripped flattop uppers over the past four years or so.  All have been Cerro forgings.

so far I've determined that whoever Del-Ton gets their upper receivers from uses Cerro and Brass Aluminum forgings. I'm thinking LAR.
