Chuck, We are not saying that cast parts don't work. Stamped parts work, too...ask Remington. The point is, one is better than the other.
I think, if you were to compare an RBL to a Ruger Gold Label, you would find that one is much better made than the other.
Ruger is the king of investment casting. They have had more than a few problems with Red Labels not functioning properly. Having said this, they generally work. The RBL is, simply, a better made gun.
That's the point trying to make...a forged part is intrinsically better than a cast one. The fact that they work is not the issue.
