Remington handguards ?????

So the step is the wider cut out for the front clip, not something you can see with the rifle assembled? I now know there is one contractor handguard with a similar cut but the profile of the WW2 handguard. The contractor begins with H but I need to check to find the full name.

I believe the contractor was Booher.

I purchased a Booher hand guard from Springfield Sporters some years ago but unfortunately like most of my rifles they are gone. Here's a picture from the internet of a Booher handguard.

The contour of the one I have is convex like the late WW2 Springfield handguard, but it has the wide front mortise for the front clip. The Remington guard contour is between the early Springfield and the late Springfield guards.
