Is there any way to tell the difference between a cast or forged PWA pre-ban lower? Thanks.

I've not seen a cast PWA, but the early EA Arms and DPMS cast lowers had raised lettering and goofy looking mag button fences. Take a look at this one and you'll see what I mean.

I found a couple of web sites that claim PWA's were either forged or cast:
Site 1:
Site 2:

Has anyone else ever seen a cast PWA lower or is the info on these sites plain wrong? If yes, how can it be identified? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply JoeBud.

So do you have one that you suspect as being cast? Are you looking to buy one that might be cast? Do you have any pictures?
