[QUOTE=jw mathews;

Also, where did one poster get the idea that Remington shotguns have forged receivers? They stopped making pump shotguns that way around 1948-'50, when the 870 first appeared, followed by the 58 & 1100 semiautos a few years later. The later designs were an improvement over the previous forged guns, with things like twin slide bars instead of only one on the pump guns, but Remington went to stamped steel receivers to lower production costs.[/QUOTE]

Remington 870s and 1100s have stamped sheet metal
receivers? Uhh...No.
