Hope everyone had a good Christmas. In the past I have always used cm receivers for my builds. While looking at Brownells I noticed that their stainless receivers are not much more expensive. I have never trued a stainless receiver and was wondering if any of you had a preference when machining? I have trued many in the past, just never any stainless. I would like to know if anyone has noticed a difference between the stainless and cm receivers when it comes to overall quality or material quality? Thank you and wish yall a happy new year.
