There has been discussion that some CSMC Foxes were made with cast frames rather than forged steel frames. What is the deal with that? If there are cast frames, is there a problem with them and how do we identify them?

Yes, when I did the plant tour in 94 I remember discussing the frames. They were investment cast, I remember seeing a bin of them. I think that is the same method used for the ruger red label. At any rate I haven’t had any problems due to this on my gun.
I believe they are now from forgeings. I don’t know what the practical differences would be.

I wonder when the cast receivers were made and can they be identified by serial number?
