Remington M1903 handguards have the following characteristics:

(1) Concave ("high hump") profile.
(2) Half-moon (semi-circular) windage knob relief cut.
(3) Sight line clearance groove with sharp square corners in the bottom (most, but not all).
(4) Rough cut barrel channel with NO fixturing slot in the rear.
(5) Distinct 1" wide relief cut for the front metal clip.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
