    M1903 Remington "Modified" Hand Guard Rear Band

    I have an M1903 Remington “Modified” Raritan arsenal rebuild and it happens to have the hand guard type that is the Pre WWII, Short Groove, Circular Cut (per Bill Ricca parts website).

    On mine the rear band is the milled band and fits loose around the wood. It appears that the wood is compressed in that area. Does anyone know, should the band fit tight around the wood or do they normally fit loose?

    I've started looking for another GI issue hand guard just in case. I would prefer no new remade copies. Thanks for any help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Should be tight ( snug) and not rattle or slip around. You might just put a layer or a few of electrical tape around the underside of the band as fill in or cut a "C" of tin can material .
