I haven't even fired a new black M1A standard and noticed what looked like a scratch running parallel to the barrel, down the top of the handguard. Upon closer inspection, it was obviously a split. WTH
So, I start looking around for a black replacement. Can't find one anywhere. Not on Springfield's website and Brownells says it's discontinued by the manufacturer. What am I missing here? |

Quoted:
Is SA Inc. still using USGI synthetic stocks and handguards? If so, it's probably a painted GI handguard. Don't know if they are still selling GI. Probably not. Wouldn't hurt to give them a call. These folks have them in stock: http://treelinem14.com/main.sc Look under "stocks and parts" |

If the OP has one of those stocks, he could just buy a G.I. handguard and paint it black. I don't know if SA Inc. found another source for their synthetic stocks, or if they are still using G.I. stocks. |
