How can you tell who made the FCG in an AR.  do the different mfgr.'s have different markings?(dpms,stag/cmt, colt, etc.) or is there no way of telling who made the guts of your weapon.

Some mfg's mark the hammers.
Other than that I have no idea.

The hammers in my CMT LPK and my Colt 6920 are exactly the same, two little S's on one side and the #4 on the other side.

You think Colt might have got that hammer from CMT? Surely not, colt does everything in house right?

I bet since they went back to .154 pins they started outsourcing some of the small parts again, that or they both use the same markings and have the same tooling marks

No, the hammer that came with my gun has an E4 mark on it.  Just wondering what E4 is.

That would be real ironic if CMT did make those parts....Next thing you know, Colt will be considered mid tier

Mehh.. As long as the part is properly made to blueprint specs I don't care who made it.
Pretty much all the manufacturers have sourced parts from the others in a pinch .
