These were gifted to me and I subsequently no longer have a rifle-length rifle.

Many thanks. Sorry for tater pics.

ETA: I have no reason to believe they're not as they came from Sarco a while back, but I just wanted to see if there was a way to tell for certain. They're pretty sturdy. No cracks, just some scratches from living in a box with other parts for a few years.

I’m not an expert on retro stuff by any stretch of the imagination, but I did carry an M16A1 for the first 4 years that I was in the Army and those look just like what I remember them looking like.

Looks like you have a crack in the 3rd picture. Not that big of a deal, but it is present.

Yup, it's on the left handguard (right side of pic), second slot from the front. Looks like a pretty big crack to me.

Those darn left handguards always crack! That’s why they are so scarce.

I believe so.. they look like USGI type 'D' handguards to me.

Scroll about 1/2 way down the page of Ekie's tacked thread - HERE

Type E, same as D but has the drain hole.
