Made a handguard for my M1891

[Eaglelord17]

Unfortunately the originals were not very durable and tough (as evidenced by so many M91s missing handguards). To save a penny it cost the Russians a pound in constant replacement of the handguards.

OP it looks great, colour looks pretty closely matched, and at a glance you can't easily tell the difference between a original and your repro.

Guess I should have included one of these when I said that...
The woodwork is as tough as cooked squash. One can gouge it with a thumbnail...I was being facetious...

Yes, the new one is excellent...

Yes, the original's were quite fragile, thus necessitating this little project.

I get the humor. And thanks all for the comments.
