    It looks like yours has simply has a #4 butt fitted and perhaps just a whacked off #4 lower, looks to be a bit short. These guys can measure one or perhaps that info is still here as we've talked about this before. The band location is in question too. The upper would be different length from the #4 compared to the #5 I think?

    I add a pic here to illustrate the length of the forestock compared to barrel length... The mag is hanging out and the picture is from WarRellicsForum... More, I'd say your handguard retaining ring is the wrong one as well, looks to high and proud. The forestocks are different lines as well, a #4 cut down I think on yours. Top handguard looks right though.
