    Help restoring a No 1 Mk I*

    I'm looking for detailed photographs of a rear handguard with early back sight protector and the single barrel clip. I have a BSA 1905 short lee it was originally a I* upgraded with ** later on. It's new serial number was stamped ER for Irish service, but it's original number was prefixed with an S.
    The barrel where the clip attaches is only scratched/marked from a single clip, so I want to make one that's true to spec. I made one before for another rifle, but I used the double clip. I swore I'd never do it again (after a lot of swearing) but hey, it's Enfields I'm talking about and there never seems to be a last one.
    I tried putting up pictures but couldn't figure out how to do it.
    I've got a forend in the works from EFD, but couldn't spring the extra for handguards, so it's time to start carving and sanding.
    Any help is appreciated
