Handguard ID What is this?
Do any of you know what type of handguard this is pictured with the stock? I have a chance to buy these, any guess of its value?
Thanks, G3

FN metric heavy barrel stock & handguard.
Constantine in Greece had a set like that for sale for $165 for a while.

Thanks. Is there a piece missing. Looks like there should be a metal part like the Israelis.

Nothing missing from the HGs per se.
The right side ( in the pic ) fits into the HG ring at the breech just like regular HGs, the front is then retained by a seperate clip which locks into a slot machined into the barrel, which is different entirely from the Israeli FALO HGs, which mount identically to standard light barrel HGs.

I have bought a set from him before. They are priced right for the condition they are in and refinish fairly well while retaining some nice character.

As above.. nothing missing.. Buy it, if you don't you will regret it, they are hard to find.
