The company's product line revolves around semi-automatic pistol and rifle variants of the M4 / AR-15 design. I'm going to guess they don't have any of the actual records of Bushmaster, however. Bushmaster Firearms International based in Carson City, Nevada, United States, is an American manufacturer and distributor of firearms. If the current Bushmaster can't help you, it might be worth calling Windham Weaponry, which has the owner and employees of the original Bushmaster but is a separate company. As you may know, Bushmaster is now a brand of Cerberus (seemingly a marketing name for Remington) and is now made in Ilion NY, not Windham Maine. If you can contact the BM factory that's your best bet. I don't know whether Bushmaster ever used machined markings. The photo you show appears as if it might be a machined marking instead (very common on newer/nicer lowers and easy to do with modern equipment). The other thing I'm unsure of is the quality of the markings - the genuine (from factory to distributor to trustworthy dealer to me) Bushmaster I owned had fairly rough markings, that looked like a die had literally been hammered into the metal. The one I had (2008 production) had a receiver with a very flat and regular, although very dull, surface finish. The only thing that seems wrong is the unevenness in the lower receiver between the takedown pin and the castle nut. Based on a Bushmaster I used to own but no longer have, this looks basically correct.
