Early hand guard spacer?

[CCyooper]

This hand guard with no hole spacer recently sold on xbay for $260. It was sold as a transitional part (gas trap) no hole with notch. I have had at least two of these over the years and believe I was told they were either foreign or post war replacements. I either scrapped them or gave them away with some bad wood, am I the fool?

You're not the fool. There's nothing special about them. Definitely not a transitional piece.

I was watching that and let it go last week for 120.00. Re-listed and sells for 260.00 the next week. Something better will always come along
