As, Tahunua says, many folks simply refuse to accept that there can be any problem with those single heat treat rifles, or claim that the bad ones have been weeded out. One fellow "proved" with statistics that there was not and never had been any problem.
I became a believer many years ago when I hit a low-number receiver with a light hammer and watched as three pieces fell to the floor. And the hammer was not a statistical hammer, either. The rifle belonged to a friend and we both turned a bit green, as we had been firing the rifle the day before.
(The shattered receiver didn't matter as it was being returned to DCM for replacement, which they would do in those days.)
