Steel receivers?
I'm looking for just basic, run of the mill, steel (not stainless or aluminum) upper and lower receivers.
Has nothing to do with adding weight for reduced recoil or anything else. Its for a custom build and steel is the best bet for initial testing/proofing.
I'm making initial prototypes and steel is much easier to work with, and is much cheaper, also its much easier to fix mistakes.
Ideal would be AR-15 upper and lower receivers, however; AR-10 type receivers will suffice if available. Would prefer finished products, however 80% forgings will do as well, as I do not have a multi-axis CNC mill capable of complex radius's to make my own, just a standard manual vertical mill.
Or even just receivers made of any material other than 7075. That are not absurdly expensive.
Any info in the right direction is appreciated.
