Tres bon
I don't know how to say very cool but uh from my limited reading, the flashider removed wasn't uncommon so you could do that with any regular ww2 bar technically and I don't believe the carry handles were really used.

Interesting pics. Thanks. I've wondered why a vertical foregrip was never officially developed. It seems like a natural thing to do. US Ordnance always seems to occupy it's own little, isolated world.

At least it's just the stock! Drop that action into a new stock and you're all good  |

Cool resource pictures (for the BAR). I will reserve comment on the abortion Garand. Another variant for the BAR concerned an early War bipod (back closer to the handguard) and the use of bakelight stocks and handguards, neither saw much field use (especially the handguard) but I have seen some with1943 dates so no doubt they were fielded.
