Thanks guys, I had originally thought it may be a VOPO mark also, but looked around and found that the Vopo stamps are rather different. Cal

I can't seem to find the reference at the moment, but if my memory is correct, the asterisk is a stamp they used to identify a barrel that was rejected, and was sent back for possible rework/correction. I'm pretty sure one of my guns has that mark as well.
