2) TRIGGER- I think it was "PI"
3) TRIGGER HOUSING- Inland inside a house shaped logo
4) HAMMER- An 'I' or T. Hard to tell.
5) SLIDE- #7160091 and PI
6) BOLT- EMB
7) MAG RELEASE- CCM
8) FRONT SIGHT- Either a N or Z
9) BAND- AI
10) STOCK- SA

CAI = Century International Arms.
It's a return import.
As a collector arm, that kinda kills it. As a shooter, that's your call.
If it shoots well, just shoot the heck out of it, care for it, and enjoy it.
A typical rebuild mixmaster will serve you well for many years.
Enjoy.........

PI = Inland
Inland in house= Inland Trigger houising
PI slide-= Inland
EMB bolt = IBM I think
Hammer could be II ? that equals Inland also
Band AI = Inland
Stock SA = Springfield armory replacement stock
Front sight - N= Niedner Rifle for Inland
Front sight Z = not sure, I think Quality Hardware.

Is it possible to have parts with no markings at all?

I recently opened a Rock Ola trigger to find it was unmarked.

Charlie,
That had to be a bummer.

I had more that came out of the wrap marked.
Took plenty of pictures of this one.
So one day down the road I could say "Rock Ola triggers came unmarked"

Cheers,

I know what you mean. Had four unopened packages of oilers marked Rock-Ola. Curiosity got the best of me I had to open them. The first was six IS oilers, the second 5 IS and 1 IU, the third and forth were all IR. Which I was very happy to see. Kept all the packages though. Now all I need is to find some more early Rock-Ola guns to go with them, yeah right. And move a bunch of mint IS oilers.
