In a "weak moment" at a gun show last year I bought a JRA Richmond Rifle NIB. While cleaning the rifle after it's baptism of fire, I discovered that the clean-out screw in the bolster could not be picked up with my magnetic screwdriver. It is not a ferrous alloy. I suspect and I'm a little concerned it might be aluminum. Has anyone else noticed similar clean-out screws on JRA rifles and know what material it is actually made of?
