Normally your book is right, since most lower receivers are forged. Olympic Arms lowers are cast, though, and have a history of ill-fitting of parts, magazines, out-of-spec mag wells, etc. Their website even has an area asking about whether the receivers are cast or forged, and while they come out and say they don't use cast receivers anymore they don't exactly assure that their own receivers are normal forged ones, either.
