Tell that to John Ford of Sportsmatch, they forge there billits of aluminum before machining making a much tougher material than than cast or roll formed aluminum. My brother was a purchasing agent for Navy special forces and bought many Sportsmatch mounts, even toured there factory!! They may have made some economy steps recently but as of less than 10 years back all there aluminum mounts were made from forged aluminum material. Had the pleasure of talking to John at one of the world matches somevyears back and he stated that forged aluminum was his companies trademark !! Dont know whybthe would change that !!!
