A photo of the barrel channel would be helpful, as you are likely to find a more natural wood surface there.

Took me a few days to respond - I've got a couple projects going.

I just popped out the trigger assembly and the magazine. Looking into the magazine well, I'm going to have to go with Jim - looks like Mahogany?

I did add a little brown dye to darken the beech handguards - there's the red I was looking for!

They use the wood they have on hand...for this. They made Mahogany stocks and forestocks, pistol grips for their FN rifles too. They were just terrible, showed every thumbnail scratch. Also because they're soft, they made them thick.
