Drillmation Inc. 3-66 Bolt Contract

[painter777]

Found a Contract expenditure for Drillmation Inc for Bolts and M2 Carbines $1,657,113 listed in a Army Research and Development monthly newsletter dated March 1966.
Listed under RDTE production contracts, Which I assume means Research and Development Test and Evaluation: RDTE.

It reads: Drillmation, Inc., $1,657,113, bolts for M2 carbines

This limited information can be found on page 17 in the upper middle column:

Thought it was better to add like this, instead of reviving a ~10 year old thread.
These are a Round Bolt with the gas hole on the bottom and a D stamped on the left lug.
There was some debate over the type of finish and who they were made for?

M and D marked post WWII Round Bolts:
