    I was thinking the same thing. I have contacted them and will post their answer.

    Pot metal is a generic term not a specific type of metal .
    AR's are aluminum & not magnetic .
    One possible ingredient in "pot metal" is lead [heavy]
    I'm sure what ever mixture they are using is superior to the early low quality stuff found it toys .
    Time will tell how these stand up . I have no intention of getting rid of mine any time soon
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    Hey thx, R-man! Keep us posted. I'm still very keen on my 'Stuggie' and it would be comforting to know it's still going to be working in a year's time. The big question is the barrel. Another Q is the availability of spare parts...

    I don't think the barrel is an issue. I have other GSG firearms with plenty of rounds through them. I find them to be accurate and of good quality.
    I don't really think the issue of the alloy used in the receiver is an issue either. The use of the term "pot metal" has been thrown out there without any conclusive evidence. As mentioned there are a lot of alloys out there. Doesn't make them pot metal.
    Hopefully GSG will enlighten us, one way or the other, soon. Then we can get on to other more important issues like whether or not the bores of these rifles are chrome lined.
    And when the MP40's will be available. . . .

    Arrow Come see my new thread...

    Cheers! I've just started a new thread over on the 'Rimfire' forum entitled "The Unoffishal StG 44/22 thread:" Hopefully we can consolidate our StG intel into one thread now instead of having to search multiple threads on different CGN forums. I intend it to be an 'all-inclusive' thread for existing owners. Come on over!

    From the GSG website: it is constructed of Zamak-5 zinc#alloy, which provides maximum hardness and durability.
    You are either trained or untrained, and you
    will always fall to the level of your training.
