    Anyone With UN Bolt To Compare Marking ?

    Just wandering GB today and came across this UN marked bolt.
    Not faulting the seller, just curious as to the UN marking.

    Anyone have a picture they can share?
    Maybe just a bad stamp?

    No picture, but why would it not be an NPM with a crappy stamping?

    Not saying it isn't.
    Feel free to buy anything you see with any Crappy Stamping you desire.

    If made by US&S for NPM, I like to look closely and try to compare to clearly marked ones.
    UN marked bolts IMO are some what rare, seeing that US&S only made 54,594 of them.
    Many/some being found with a number 2 on the small left lug.

    Cheers

    This one is from my NPM purchased from CMPicon back in the carbine frenzy days.
    Maybe NPM was not very particular with the quality of their stamps ?
    Pretty sure they manufactured their own bolts in house.

    Should have said they made "some" of their bolts in house.
    Mine was indeed made by US&S.
    Sorry
