I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this marking means and possibly what company uses it?
Thanks for the help. |
| Anchor -Harvey forge, the company that makes the raw aluminum forging for the upper. The gunmakers make their lowers from the forging. A-H supplies to many companies, including Colt. You can't tell who actually machined the lower unless it's marked like Colt or a couple of the others do. |
