Correct handguard today

[lboos]

My M1A1 has had the wrong handguard on it since I got it years ago, I decided to get the correct guard for it, so I went too ebay and found one. it's a type ll, two rivet marked i0.
I was worried about the grain and color. it matches pretty good and is correct for this gun.
Now on the hunt for a ww2 oiler, it sure is hard to find an org. one and on ebay the prices go from $ 8 too $60 , I cant tell the diff but I'm sure the $8 ones must be fake. be glad when the gun shows get going in full where you can talk to those who can tell the diff.
Any way, here's a few pic. of my hand guard. Thanks for looking.

I don't know why the bayonet lug looks so rusty in the pic. it does not look like that in hand ???
