The 9422s were indeed quality arms. I just took one of mine apart for cleaning a few days ago, and with the bolt out of the upper receiver, I inadvertently bumped the receiver against my desk. It rang like a tuning fork! No cheap aluminum or other pot metal here. You could hang that stripped receiver upside down and tap it with a plastic hammer - great dinner bell!
