    Colt switched from Stoner's spec of 6061 to 7075 in 1966 or so because 6061 receivers were "rotting" in Vietnam. 7075 fixed the problem.

    I would be shocked if they were not 7076 series AL.

    I am sure DD gets their raw forgings from Alcoa or Anchor Harvey like everyone else.

    These are not machined billets.

    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    I'm sure this is a typo as well.

    Thank you Grant and Jay,

    For a while there with the non-returned email, I thought it was true.

    Now, I can buy multiple lowers. Wow, BIG mistake for Midway.

    DD once again you deliver.
