I just picked up a 1917 Remington that has a beech upper handguard. I've seen Birch wood for 1917s (besides walnut) but not beech. Is this a WW2 replacement or a Brit P14 WW2 handguard on a 1917?

What letter is stamped on the inside of the hand-guard?

No markings at all. The rifle was heavily slathered with grease under the wood. Greek or Danish CMP return perhaps? No serial number stamped on the butt or scribed on the bolt handle as the Greek 03s had.

I feel left out! my Greek CMP '03 doesn't have a serial number on the butt.

It does have one on the bolt, but of course, it doesn't match the rifle.

post war replacement handguard..iv had them before, i used to have a box of them, dont remember the maker...might have the box around someplace still.
i have some walnut front handguards if you need.
