not an expert but I think Colt, Bushmaster and NDS receivers have forging markings... not sure about DPMS or Oly...

maybe you can find some info here:

Post in the RETRO forum you'll have an answer quick. Lots of knowledge there.

People keep calling those "c7" or "a1" uppers, but in a '91 colt armorer's manual it calls that style an "a2 with field sights". I'm not sure how many a2s were sold in that configuration? My dpms has the split A forge mark.

I'm not familiar with the "R" forge mark, but this thread should get you on track towards finding out. (As well as getting in contact with the guys in the retro forum)

A forge mark that is not. That "R", in conjunction with the curved arrow, indicates the direction in which turn the sight wheel in order to move the aperture to the right.
