Well, as I was cleaning my newly acquired New England Westinghouse I knocked my '35 Izzy over and it landed sight hood first into bare concrete. Completely missed the carpet to the right and foam pad to the left. Now the front sight wiggles and a copper shim popped out. emo gonk WHY ME??? WHY???? emo More about the Westinghouse. It's range of date is 1916-1917, from 1915-1918 they were all stamped with the date 1915. Only difference between the years is the type of logo. Here's the pictures. They're big so yeah.

I still think that a milled receiver is better than a stamped receiver. No, it isn't. No modern military rifle has a milled reciever. It's far too expensive and time consuming to make, it's too heavy, and it adds nothing to reliability or accuracy. There is no point. Modern firearms use composite materiels or stamped sheet metal for this very reason.

Used it from the late '50s to the fall in '93 and is still being used by the Czech and Slavs. http://world.guns.ru/assault/as33-e.htm

The ejector, cartridge itterupter, and extracters are stamped, IIRC. Probably the action bars, too.

I can't think of a single metal pistol that's not milled and doesn't have 'machine' before 'pistol'.
