Guys, I need some help. I need a Kar98a handguard. I have contacted Springfield Sporters but no luck. This the WWI small ring Mauser. Not sure who has one. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks guys.

I have never used them but if you cant find one maybe these guys will make you one. They make the whole stock set up for a Kar98a

PPHU Fox - Wooden gun stocks

Have you tried ebay? They do show up every now and then.

Good Luck!!!

I was about one week away from ordering a complete stock from PPHU Fox when one came up on ebay. I would think they would sell just the handguard if you asked. If you want original, ebay is the way to go. Might take years but it will eventually happen.



I actually got pretty lucky with this one. I think I watched ebay for somewhere between one and two months after I bought the rifle. I had watched the rifle at the gun shop for six months before offering him a lowball figure which he took because it had sat there for six months.

I actually got pretty lucky with this one.

That was quite a saga...

I sent Fox an email. No response from him. I understand he is a hobby-guy, anybody know much about him?

[Aragorn243]

I got a response from him very quickly. I expect he will get back to you soon. Remember the time difference. He's in Poland I believe.

So Steve, What arsenal and what year is your Kar 98a?
I have a 1918 ERFURT.

I'm loving the tiger strips on yours Aragorn!!!!!
