    Could this be the elusive 1903 Remington Handguard?

    It is definitely concave, and has the front clip relief.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It appears to be a Remington handguard. Can you post a picture of the sight line clearance groove taken at a slightly oblique angle?

    Thanks!

    Thank you John. Now all I need is part A, a finger/grasping groove stock with a boxed RLB. Trades anyone?

    If you can find that be sure to buy a lottery ticket! You probably have an equal chance of "winning" either!!

    Rick, don't say that. About five years ago, or so, I passed on one because it was marked NZicon. Yikes!!! (that was before I know much about the Rem '03s)
