Seems that over and over the market has rejected/poo-pooed the cast receiver/frame on pretty much any gun. I would say that it has been mostly without merit that the cast reciever is percieved as inferior. Certainly an investment cast reciever of modern high strength steel would be an example of being a victim of early gun problems from castings. Heck, virtually every gun Ruger makes is cast. Not many failures on them that I've heard of. But the legend lives on...at a cost to the consumer.
