If it's C Æ (the "E" being an "F" actually), then it's a Colt/Alcoa Forge

If it's an "A" that looks like it's split down the middle (known as the "Splintered A"), it's typically an Olympic Arms.

But, being that it has the "C", it's probably the one I first mentioned since I don't believe Colt used "Splintered A" forgings...

Like this:



It IS on the receiver itself, and not the detatchable carry handle, correct?.

Looks like what you got there.  I was just curious because I bought a DMPS upper and was not sure what the marks were.  Thanks for your help.
