Enfield No4 GROOVED Rear Handguard

Thanks for the information! I was wondering why I keep seeing so many variations. I am looking at a number of No4 Mk1* made by Savage and noted that some had the grooved handguard and some do not. I one I liked the best did not have a grooved handguard and the handguard was a darker color than the rest of the rifle. It looks like it was packed away after its time in the military and allot of the dings and stuff match to the lower but was confused with the handguard differenceb even though It's still covered in cosmoline (allot-lot-lot of cosmoline) and obvious its not been messed with for a very long time.

Thanks again!
