This is from the web in 2009 don't know if it is accurate

The so-called "ducks foot" just below the P proof found on a number of late NM rifles. Nobody yet seems to know for sure what this mark is an indication of.

Thanks, that's what I've found so far as well that they were NM and shipped from RIA.
Thanks again.

My best guess is that it is a second pressure test, probably by Rock Island.
