I guess you have never worked in a machine shop have you?
A forged piece of steel is stronger than an un-forged piece. When you compress the steel the molecules are rearranged and produce a steel that is tougher and stronger than it originally was. Smith still use it on some guns and they wouldn't do that if the only difference was price.
