thanks all for your help on my first post a few weeks ago! I finally had the time to strip the new rifle down and clean it up and get some more photos - good news was it looks like everything matches - I also found some interesting marks inside the handguard - looks like an M or W? - any ideas here? Here are the pics for your viewing pleasure! I also included a pic of the inside of the handguard so you could see the shellac or poly that someone put on the outside.
