These are hand guards i have made, i also made the rivets and roves for two of the rear hand guards. the rear hand guards that show the clips were the first two i made, they are on the two SMLEs pictured
the decidedly reddish SMLE in the last pic has upper hand guards made by me as well as an extended sporter fore end. will do it differently for the next refurb. the red colour comes from medium brown leather dye. great for long rifles, not really the right choice for SMLEs. the lower almost normal colour SMLE has my upper hand guards and what i call an oversized fore end from Numerich gun parts.
I apologize for the giant photos
