I agree,
I think the "forced" part is a mis-nomer.

It was simply "re-numbering" or numbering to match.

I'm not sure where "forced match" came from , but first time I heard it was years ago in relation to Russian Moisin rifles- most all had some "forced" matched parts.

in our classifieds down below, there is a regular stream of WTB certain #s on parts...how is this any different ?

it creates an "all matching", whether for sale or just bragging rights..........
