parts. There is nothing wrong with MIM parts. They are not made out of compressed cat shit. MIM is simply Metal Infused Molding. It is still all steel, nothing inferior at all and nothing lacking in strength. It is just a less expensive way of casting non important parts. Some know it alls on the internet got the crap started that MIM parts were inferior. Probably the same idiot that started the crap that if your Marlin didn't have the JM proof mark it was no good.
Anyway, the MIM parts are just as strong as standard steel parts so don't get your panties in a wad.
