[Doco overboard]

This band is "R" marked on the starboard side, is it a repro? A bayonet works on it.Attachment 77334 Thanks for looking.

Remington made parts were commonly stamped with an "R".

I was looking at the radius at the top of the barrel and also where it meets the handgaurd and wondered why the relief is larger than the others I have seen. It looks smart compared to the others IMO because it is not tight against the barrel, Thanks for the reply.

The bands of the part are slightly off the barrel so there isn't any binding.

Looks fake to me. I would post pictures but don't know how on this site. If it was gunboards it is easy.

It's easy once you've done it once. I can send you an email on PM and if you like, I'll post for you until you get the hang...

Thats what I think, because I don't have another R marked example to compare it to do not know for sure. I just thought that maybe someone would be able to identify or confirm from past experience with a repro part. With the exception of the radius, the domed shape where the screw goes through is opposite the H marked ones that I have. The one pictured has the dome on the threaded side and the process used to finish the lugs that support the stacking swivel have been ground a little more flat vs. round like others I compared to. They all attract a magnet as well as the other but the one in question just seems a little "different" Thanks for looking.

Brian,
Your statement about your screw makes me ask if your screw is an A3 or 03 screw. If the screw threads are next to the screw head then it is an 03 but if it is on the end of the shaft then it is an A3 screw. Pictures below:

Here's a pic from Detroit-1 of his "R" marked front band.
