Who made the gun?
Is the 5.56 part of the roll mark kind of offset, one part being deper than the other? If it is I would say that you have an Olympic Arms barrel. It would be a 1/9 twist stainless steel barrel. Of course I could be wrong. |

It's a Oly receiver that is marked "CAR-AR", and yes the nimbers are offset.

Then you have an Olympis Arms lower, I don't know about the upper and the barrel is a stainless steel.
It could be a SUM barrel. Call up Oly and ask. |

The PM on your upper is Palmetto Mfg.
They made uppers for numerous other companies, incl. Oly. |

Now that's funny.
Palmetto Armory made the uppers but they went through Oly for the lowers. Hmmmm....... |

Just like alcoa and harvey al. co. did for colt |

Palmetto mfg?
Do you have a source of info for that? Everything I know about Palmetto is about Palmetto Armory. From what I can gather they were a small shop that assembled AR15's from parts they bought from everyone else. I have owned one Palmetto Armory AR15. |

Palmetto Armory and Palmetto Mfg. are two different companies.
Uppers and lowers are forged by outside contractors and are machined by whoever builds them into guns. For example: The CM on Colt uppers is, Colt-Martin Marrittea The CH is, Colt-Harvey Aluminum Co. I read a tech manual a long time ago and found this out. Also check out www.biggerhammer.net |
