A friend showed his to me and I immediately notes two barrel bands out near muzzle under side folding bayonet... There was a groove in the wood forestock and no wood under bands on top of barrel...
So i looked at google images and it appears there is a piece of wood missing. I am guessing this wood was fore hand to hand use to protect the hand from a hot barrel...
My buddy thought they might be retainers for a cleaning rod or something...
If it isw missing wood, can I buy just that piece easily?
