I have seen some reicivers that was bent due to heavy loads (DWM)

I have seen one reiciver cracked due to long use.

All reicivers are partly hardend at the recoillug area and even though they are that they are still batterd there.

So if that area not had been hardend the bold wouldent been able to travel as the toggle had hammerd out the reiciver in the area where the bolt travels.

I am absolutetly convinced that aluminium regardless of quality is unsufficient for a Luger reiciver or a Luger frame if the guns should be used.

( But there is toolgrade Aluminum that is considerably harder and tougher than the Stainless steel used by some 1911 and so called lugermanufacturers.)
