I know how you hate to be wrong Peter, but all i can report is what Browning called the material used in this receiver. LOL

That is exactly what I said, that it sounds like a made up trade name as part of a marketing effort rather than an actual metallurgic composition. It has nothing to do with my need to be correct, I can't find a metal by that name actually exists and what it's composition might be, I did some searching after you mentioned it. Have you found anything else about a metal by that name? Perhaps there are different types of aluminum composites. Please enlighten me if you can find something more.

I have a Remington M31 lightweight 20 gauge The receiver is some sort of alloy. Anyone have a guess on its name/composition? I don't.

They are very unique and very cool guns, I have found mine to be very nice to carry for a 12ga and one of the most natural guns to point of any I have owned, however they can be fussy. I looked at and picked up a steel receiver version at KTP and for me there was no comparison to the aluminum alloy guns. It felt heavy/bulky, not lively in hand at all. It did have the channel rib though and I thought that was kind of neat. Overall it seems more than any other feature the color of the receiver drives the price followed by a VR barrel.

Color does drive the prices. Though my book says that the solid rib barrels are quite rare as they were all special order items
