1939 BSA box o' parts.

I looked at pics of my handguard stash and at least two of them are riveted and appear to be Beech as well like Roger’s.

Rivets, in this application, do make more sense in my opinion. I should check my 1916 BSA and see what they were doing back then.

Another issue I found with the rifle. One of the bolt lock pins was missing and the other was not doing its job as it was overly worn. These are apparently unobtanium... I tried... Sooooo... I ordered a couple of core pins from McMaster-Carr and widdled some new ones. I left them a bit longer only because they were easier to manipulate. The bolt lock/safety works well now.
