    1903a3 Handguard Clips

    Hey, all. I have a newly manufactured 1903a3 handguard that has the cut-outs for the clips but didn't come with them. What's the best way to go about installing them so I don't muck-up the clips or handguard?

    Thanks!

    The stock also came without the reinforcing bolts. Is there a preferred way to install these as well?

    To my surprise the Minelli stock set I ordered came with a precut handguard.
