I have a new in wrapper bolt from some years ago.  Don't remember where I got it.  No markings on the wrapper, just that brown, waxy, preservative paper wrap.

The bolt has a very small " ce " mark stamped on the side, on the smooth space behind the lugs.  

Any idea of the manufacturer or details?

Pictures would aid identification immensely.  

Does the wrapper have any markings?  

Perhaps a five digit alpha-numeric code and/or an annotation that says "MFR?"

Here's the pic.

The only markings on it is the " ce "

Nothing on the wrapper.

Bushmaster or DPMS I'm fairly certain.

I don't have ce marked on any of my Bushy bolts.

Looks like an LMT bolt. The lugs appear to have the radius like LMT cuts, but that area in the pic is not showin up that well for me.

DPMS then.

DPMS carriers are sometimes marked TC = Tompson Center. They sometimes come with bolts marked CE.

Regardless, where did you get the bolt OP? I wouldn't run a questionable bolt.

I've had it for years, just going through my parts bin to see what I had.  I likely picked it up at a gun show somewhere along the line.  

That's why I'm trying to ID it.  

I wouldn't call it questionable, I have several running frankengun AR's with many rounds and unmarked bolts.  Someone manufactured it to be used.  

I probably wouldn't put it in a duty gun I would trust my life to but I'm sure it wouldn't cause a problem in a range gun.

Are you just making this stuff up as you go?

Thompson Center (bought out by S&W in 2007) does not manufacturer AR15 components.  A bolt or bolt carrier marked TC is manufactured by TOOLCRAFT..

Toolcraft and Microbest are two of the bigger bolt and bolt carrier manufacturers in the USA.
