we talked about these before, I think? I just scanned back through 4 or 5 pages and didn't see the discussion but I do recall 'aluminum receivers' recently.

And here I thought I was paying attention!

Who would do such a thing!

You don't know anyone like that do you?

I bet if you restricted that rifle to .38 Special cast-bullet loads and stayed away from the hot loadings, that rifle would outlast either you or me and would be a ton of fun.

Of course that makes the rifle much less than it could be with a steel receiver.
