Youz guys are making me give up all my good stuff wink Hope no one is reading this!

The chemical composition of the post-1900 Remington 1894 A grade with "Oxford 2 S.J." 2 Iron Crolle was similar to AISI 1005 low alloy steel by Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES).

SO, as Craig astutely observed, the iron was (surely) wrought iron and the steel was likely low carbon "mild" steel with less than .2% carbon. AISI 1020 has a tensile strength of 55,000 - 60,000 psi.
AISI 1010 is 47,000; about what the Pattern Welded barrels measured in my study.
