It's actually BMS which stands for bright mild steel or what the cousins called cold rolled.
FCMS is Free Cutting Mild Steel or leaded steel.

Handy bunch of stuff in there Marv, thanks.
 
If you go way back in time MS didn't mean mild steel but was "merchant stock".
 
.... go even further back and it meant mastodon steak ;)
