Chooch,
SAMCO is the importer/vendor, the rifle was made in Oviedo, Spain. At some point, the Feds required the importers to stamp their name on the imported rifles - really PO's us collectors. They used to do it up on the muzzle end of the barrel - not so noticeable. Nowadays, they put it on the receivers where it can mess up the original markings.
