Pictures? It isn't uncommon for the BCG to not match

I checked the thread with pictures of lower and upper markings over there. Oly was on the list but there was no picture linked.

I just got my olympic varmint upper and the only marking on it is a raised symbol less than 1/8" tall on the right side just behind the deflector that looks like a keyhole.

The "keyhole" is the Cerro Forge marking. Has nothing to do with Oly.

I learn something new every day. Looks like Cerro Forge makes uppers for a lot of different manufacturers.

Oly uses a peace sign stamp to mark their stuff, so your description of a benz emblem sounds correct. Peace through superior firepower.

Here's some reference links
