Of course they are telling you that…. But here’s something: I was building & working on AR’s LONG before Savage was! Many here were! So allow me to educate you a little bit my friend
Look at the pictures below & also at your MSR upper. On the right side, just behind the shell deflector, you should see a mark.
Now, here’s a factory Savage picture of an 18” 224 Valk. MSR15.
And here is that same picture I enlarged to highlight the Forge Mark. See the Square?
By contrast, here is one of my ultra high end, custom built: manufactured by ME, AR15’s in 223/5.56.
And once again, I enlarged that same picture to highlight the same Forge Mark!
This is because Savage was doing the exact same thing I and every other AR15 builder does.. Buying their Uppers from a Foundry Forge… where ALL Forged Aluminum parts are made. In this case, the “Square” mark tells me they are made at the the Brass/Aluminum Forging Enterprises company. (My preferred Foundry for stripped Uppers.) I’m willing to bet your MSR has the same mark. And if not, please tell me what it looks like and I’ll tell you what Foundry forge the Upper came from. Or, just post a picture.
