When I called Noveske and asked if they used bolt carriers marked "F" the woman went to ask someone and came back and said "it's marked MP". I explained to her that that was the bolt and not the carrier and she said "Uh well I don't think so". Not a convincing conversation to say the least. My two factory Noveskes have unmarked carriers so I did a search and found nothing, then thought I would ask here. Thanks for the help.
No, I gotcha. I am fully aware of FN's TDP for the M16, as well as their non-compete (and drawn out legal battle) with Colt.
All I was suggesting is that FN doesn't have complete control over their sub-contractors, hence all of the FN BCG's out in the wild (both marked, and with the marks ground off). It is/was likely a FN sub-contractor who sold the BCG's (and uppers, etc.) out the "back door" so-to-speak. It had to be somebody, as they are obviously available out there on the secondary/commercial market. Although, I am guessing a substantial percentage of them out there are likely from DRMO sales and "acquisitions" from GI's as well.
P.S. - Sorry for the thread derailment, lol.
