Looks good. Congrats!!
I picked up one from the same seller the day before you should of got yours as mine does not fit as well, but it will do. I went for the rougher one to match my rifle. I did take of my butt plate and its a 1906 no recoil bolt stock.
Good job pulling everything together. You were sooo lucky to find an original hand guard! Guess it was meant to be.
