WAC sent me an extra handguard which is scary matching but damaged. I think I can repair this......what do you think? Regards, Rick.

I am in the process of attempting a repair. I used some small pieces of Red Elm and rough shaped them. Then I superglued the 2 slats on the broken area using a piece of curved plastic for support. I'm going to let this dry for several hours and clean it up with the dremel. A tiny bit of stain should complete the job. The chances of it holding are not good. Regards, Rick.

Hi sakorick,
Nice looking match. If it doesn't hold I would try another repair. I think a lap joint would be stronger. JMHO.....Frank
Repair complete! I have removed and reinstalled it three times and the repair is holding just fine. The old handguard is marked PI and is in good shape. Pm me if you need a PI handguard and I'll email you some pictures.....cost is what WAC charges. I think the rifle looks 100% better with it's new furniture. Thanks to everyone for all the great info and regards, Rick.
