tapco has their "B" rated, laminated handguards on sale for $1.99USD (each?... set?.... I dunno, their ad never really comes out and says which it is but either way is way cheap) no, that was not a typo (for once LOL) ... a dollar ninety nine that's unreal.... goodluck with the draw of the cards Butch |

As a frequent buyer from TAPCO, the handguards come as pairs and usually with the front screws. I bought two pairs of laminated Aussie L1A1 guards from them and was very pleased. One was walnut and the other appears to be coachwood. They should clean up nicely. MasterGunner |

Look on the inside of the laminate HG's. If one has a smooth metal liner it's a Brit. Then it would be walnut. All the Aussies are coachwood and have a liner with a pattern of crossed lines. The manufacterer did not care about matching the wood grain on these since they were military issue. And could well both be Aussie. Coachwood has a lot of different character. I have seen a whole bunch of these HG's and Aussie/Brit wood furniture and the grain/character of the wood can be strikingly different with coachwood. Also, the folks at TAPCO (And I do love TAPCO) don't always pay attention to those little details and they may be a Brit half and an Aussie half. My .02! |

Oh my, the "B" rated was a bit optomistic, they are getting to the bottom of the barrel on this stuff, I got 4 set's out of 20 that are worth saving. Pat |
