M2 Handguard

[eb in oregon]

Hey Eb,

I really appreciate your reply, the handguard is marked S-HB, has the very same color, wear, and scratches that match the stock that is marked as IO with the cartouche mark in the right side.

Regards
Eddie

That you might have an M2 with a two rivet handguard only points to the issue someone didn't read the manual and didn't care. You have no idea if both stock and handguard are original from the date of production. Lot's of things got done at field level repair that were only to get the firearm back in action.
