Springfield Krag rifle builder.

Store the handguard with a Quarter twisted into the rear clip and a Penny twisted into the front clip, to counteract the spring tension.

Krag handguards have been known to crack while off the rifle.

Never 'snap' a Krag handguard 'off' or 'on' a barrel.

With the sight and stock taken off of the barreled/action, the Krag handguard can be moved toward the muzzle to relieve the tension of the clips and easily removed.

A handguard can be put on the barrel at the muzzle and pushed back into position, to install.

A little solvent or CLP on the barrel metal aids the process.

This information sure is really important for the handguard, since the 1901 rear sight is specific to the rifle, finding the Handguard is difficult, keeping it in good condition is critical.

Good Krag handguards seem to be bringing near 'gold prices', these days!
