Agreed +1It's not a E, it's a F with a _ under it. Meaning it's a FN bolt.
I've been curious about this as well. The bolt in my NEA (from a batch before they were making their own) has a "D" on it and my carrier has 2 dots on the side as seen towards the front of the BC in the pic below. Can anyone identify who made it?

.....Tiwanese I suspect...
If it's just a plain "D" it's DPMS.
