I picked this up at a gunshow today. I.B.M. Serial number 36773XX.  Most of the parts are I.B.M. except for a few rearsenal upgrades, and the buttplate.  The recoil plate is uncommon.  Excuse my bad pics.  I'm the only person with a Nikon D90 that can't take a good picture to save his life.

Buttplate - correct diamond pattern - S-S3
Hand Guard - Type II - SCB
Barrel - I.B.M. Corp - 9-43
Slide - Type III - AOB
Recoil Plate - Type III - BB
Trigger Housing - Type IV - BE-B
Trigger Housing Retaining Pin - Type II
Trigger - Type II - PD-B
Sear - Type I - SWB
Hammer - Type III - GMB
Sear Spring - Type II
Hammer Spring - Type II
Plunger Assembly - Type I
Safety - (marked with two S's)
Firing Pin - Type I - OB-B
Ejector - Type II
Extractor - Type III - W-B
Bolt, Round - Type III - AOB

Rear Sight - Type II - I.R. Co. 7160060
Front Sight - Type II -RIA
Barrel Band - Type III - MMQ
Stock - BR-B/RIA EB
Mag Catch - Type III - E.I

I think the only thing that sticks out  (except upgrades) is the bolt. On another thread on a IBM AO shows the bolt markings under the lug. Can you post that here?

All I found was an H on one lug, something unreadable next to the lug and AOB on the opposite lug.

Rotate the picture 180 degrees and zoom in. I think the mark under the lug is a "D", maybe somewhat double stamped.

CCNL 329-6 says the marks below the left lug of AOB marked round bolts were C,D,E,F or G. Given those possibilities, it could only be a D as originally stated.. The H mark is also correct for a round bolt.

lol, ok I feel dumb.  Some days I think I'm losing my mind.  That bolt pic above of the H mark with the white and red striped background...I have no idea what that is, there is nothing in the house that looks like that (white and red)...very odd.
