David, unfortunately they use cast trunnions, not forged. Hope this helps.

David, unfortunately it comes with a Cast Front Trunnion Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

It is cast. Avoid cast trunnions. Robski had his PAC rifle lose headspace within 500 rounds. Pioneer Arms is considered a very bad importer. The r/ak47 wiki lists the PA Hellpup as Do Not Buy. I hope this helps!

David, it is cast. Despite some worries about the cast trunnions, the Pioneer Arms representatives state that they have only seen one of the new models come back for warranty repair. You could rest assured knowing that parts like the trunnions possess a lifetime warranty. Have a great day!
