    Many early hand guards were stamped with individual letters. I think the bomb and I were stamped and the O was stamp sideways, then re-stamped correctly. Or some one tried to fake the IO stamp. The location is not of an early handguard. And as late as it is, It would not have a bomb. Or just early and hand stamped in an unusual location.
