IWI pistols cast or forged ?
« on: September 27, 2020, 11:18:34 PM »
Are the newer IWI pistols cast or forged ? I can't seem to find a definite answer.  Thanks for any help.

Just by looking at it I think they’re cast. I emailed IWI so if and when I get an answer I’ll post it.

 Thanks . Do you know if the older surplus IMI Jerichos are cast of forged ? Either way they are almost indestructable but I am just curious.

IWI replied this morning in reference to the slide with this: “The slides for the Jericho Enhanced are machined from a solid billet.”

You are very lucky that they answered at all. ;-)
Probably, first You should clarify which Jericho.
They, in different years, were made in different factories and using different technologies.
The blanks of the Jericho frames (IMI to end1990s) were made by casting from steel.

And if the answer was "made of metal", would that also be enough?
Any piece of metal can be obtained in several ways.
Forging
Casting
Rolling...
All of them were used at different times. And they all have different properties.
Casting with subsequent milling is now used.
Least quality of the ways. But the cheapest.
