DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS ONE?

**SPEEDGUNNER** · August 11, 2012, 21:37

Not mine. Seems like a pretty good price. I am not into the inch rifles so much, but this one isn't bad looking. Maybe someone here can use it.

Its an Aussie/Brit mix on a Century made "unibrow" receiver.

I took a look at it. What did somebody do to those poor handguards....

mpnv · August 12, 2012, 12:29

I emailed the owner regarding this rifle and he is under the impression that the Austrailian Military added the extra holes to improve cooling in Southeast Asia.
Mabe he's correct, I have no clue.

I can't see the pictures. If the extra holes are on the top, the handguards are New Zealand. That translates rare. If the extra holes are on the side, they are US parts. Century contracted these with Bell & Carlson.

Maybe this will work. HGs appear to be wood.

Now I see. The handguards are the laminated wood type. The extra holes are not original factory design. Could be any one of the many possibilities, but we will never know for sure.
