Bought one, really nice looking copy. I got the 1:7 twist version so I can shoot the modern, heavier, better-performing bullets. I put it on a Clot 6720 lower with A1 grip. Yeah, it's certainly not "period correct" but looks nice.

The carbine handguards feel a little more pronounced on the top and bottom where the 6-hole "ridge" runs. Like it sticks up more than other carbine handguards I've handled.

Anyone else have a retro Brownells setup with their carbine handguards?
