That's ultra rare. :cool:

What's up with that barrel? the gas block looks like it's missing ears.

Early wood replacements??? Very nice!

[Mosin Guy]

hard to tell from the picture but they look more like bakalite than wood..........

[gunplumber]

they are bakelite. I've seen one set before (which I bought, of course). I painted the rest of my rifle to match the handguards.

The ear, just one, is there. It just sits a little further to the left than most are used to.

Looks like an EX2 barrel.

I've a set of those HG's too, marked A704 on the inside of both halves.

Those hand guards are another mystery from the Fn works . I myself found one set 10-15 years ago and thats all folks . Don't know were they came from , don't know for who they were intended . Around the same period I've found also a green pistol grip . Remember , this was long before the US started to produce things for the Fal . It is impossible to find info , I wrote to Fn , reply was they don't know anymore , spoke to Fn workers , nothing .
Once I posted a pic of a laminated butt , and a worker told me they produced it for several years . I still have to find another one .
Conclusion ; I've nothing to say !

Ha! You're asking? That's like the Pope posing to the masses (no pun intended) an obscure inquiry on Christianity...

I'll I can say is "wow" those are unique.

Are these them in the picture?

Possibly... But I'd wager those are grey.
