Charlie,
Thanks for the link and information. Your carbine is outstanding, and I like that your hand guard is unmarked. While mine looks like the other hand guards posted I could not find a W anywhere but then again there is quite a bit of fair wear and tear on the rifle. The sling has a flat buckle and is not round wire. The gunk and grime on the sling makes it look like they have been together forever. Here are some pictures.
