    Hand Gurad with a hole

    I don't know what they are called.
    I read here a month back that someone picked up a lot of hand guards and I am thinking they may have a few to sell.
    Any leads appreicated,
    Thanks, Roger

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    yes, that is it. I don't think there is a type number for it.
    I think it was P7 that came into a bunch of handguards.
    I am going to PM him to see if he has any.

    M3 . They're the ones that used the mounting bar to join the scope to any 'ol carbine . The hole is there to allow the stud to stick through from the barrel mounting block for the front of the mounting bar to attach .
    Just to remind , the stock needs to be relieved to clear the mounting block that wraps around the barrel.

    Nah. They found a bunch of unissued 'IP' handguards somewhere in the warehouse and decided to make 'T3s' out of them with a Dremel. They thought the mark meant 'PI', like certain Packard parts for Inland.

    T3s are the carbines with the scope mounts as part of the reciever , therefore do not need nor use the mounting bar to join the scope to the gun , therefore do not have the hole in the handguard for the mounting block for the mounting bar .
