Nope just a forged cast.

There is a stock forged. It is a vacuum forged casting and they ARE JUNK. From what Ive seen. Fact most of the ones Ive seen were hanging out the side the block.
Hanging out of the block is not a good sign..LOL
vacuum forged... shoot that's no better then cast do to air pockets... why not just punch out a red hot peace of 6061 then bore the 2 ends and cut to fit... give me a torch a mill a old school press and I could make it.... too bad I don't have the stuff just sitting around the house to go to...
It is a little more involved than just a torch and a press. The stamp molds going from slug to net shape can be expensive. To make it economical you must forge out many thousands at a time.
BUT it is the best alternative to a cast rod. High vacuum casting is a great process BUT you still do not have the grain structure that you have with a forging done correctly. Same with a CNC billet rod. With cnc you actually have to cut through the grain structure to produce the rod shape.
