List of milled/cast parts on M14s

[Brentn]

As far as I can remember, just by looking at the parts, I'm pretty sure that the only cast parts are;

-Bolt catch
-Magazine release

I remember seeing milling marks on all the parts except for those, even the trigger assembly housing is milled.

The bolt catch and magazine release have casting marks and do not look milled, but then again these parts aren't under a considerable amount of stress anyways.
I could be wrong, but if anyone has any input as to what parts are cast, post em up. It would be nice to see what parts of the rifle are not forged/milled.

The flash suppressor on many of them ( maybe all; I can't say) is made by turning the front cylindrical portion from bar stock, then welding it the back portion, which is cast.
