Yes this is more like what I was to understand.Do these 4 Co. also forge their own or does that boil down to just 1 forging co.?

Now, there are even more.Like is said, I just couldn't believe all lowers were made by one company.THE KEY TO THIS HERE POINT IS THAT THEY ALL MACHINE FORGED LOWERS.I look at this as the forged lowers come in and then they machine the already forged lowers.Do they all have a foundry?I doubt it lol

ME I am retired Machinist,Engineer after my Military career .Now Foundries are very far and very few between.
