Anyone seen this before?  Stamped right side above grip.  Serial number is a TA prefix.

The TA prefix sounds correct based on my personal experience.

Hopefully this works.

The TA is correct.  I've just never seen the "Z" before.

Seen that mark before. Think it was Zorro.
Just looks like a hand stamp someone marked it to identify it.

Set myself up for that I guess.

The lower, grip and mag block have been sitting in a box unassembled for about 20 years.  I've got it all together finally, but i had to settle on an M4 stock temporarily until I can find the correct one.  Shoots great.  Literally never noted this marking until  a few days ago.
