Handguard Repair

[Bubba-7]

Many times you can reinstall the metal clip by putting the clip over the rivit ends and holding a flat round punch on the head use a pointed punch and hammer on the inside to rebrad the rivit ends. use only a little inpact with the hammer because too much will crack the wood from the rivit to the end of the handguard. I have done this several times and only cracked the wood the first time. Four hands will make it go easier but it can be done with two.
