Thanks it worked this time, it does look like cast material, but I thought you said it only had Remington marked on it? It has (US Remington Model 03-A3 with funny looking serial #'s)
I guess the big fat serial #'s would also be a give away?

Thanks for posting the pic.

When I posted it only had remington on it, I was referring to another poster who mentioned Santa Fe. There was no manufactures name on the receiver as it is a copy of a Remington.

I see, but the one in your photobucket pic is a counterfeit Remington receiver...correct?

That is correct, The person who made it wasn't thinking too hard as he could have just as easily made a A4 receiver instead of a plain A3 receiver. That's like a money counterfeiter making $5 bills instead of $20's.

LOL.....now I need to try and find some pics of the 1903A4 receivers so I'll be able to tell them apart. I'm just getting started researching these rifles so I've got
much to learn about them! Thanks again LJUTIC.
