Grooved hand-guard

[stencollector]

Are you talking about a grooved rear handguard on a #4? Quite common, and interchangeable with the regular non-grooved handguard.

I was at that show as well, I stuck around an extra night after attending Bud Haynes auction. I managed to spend $20 at the show. There wasn't much there to tempt me.
Bud Haynes was another story. The old Mastercard got quite a workout there.

Hah! I was starting to think I had lost my mind, or that someone was going to "flame" me for not being able to distinguish a mini-14 from a Lee Enfield! Thank you for the info!.

They managed to get $5 out of me (admission) but nothing else. I had hoped to come away with some brass to feed my Mosin but no luck so in the safe it sits. The highlight for me were the furs at the back, sad comment for a gun show. Were there some interesting items at the Haynes auction, I wasn't able to make that one?
