Help I.D. handguard

**Salt Flat** · 04-02-2013 03:21 PM

I am going through some parts I have and can't determine what this handguard fits. I thought it was for a Krag icon

, but it's too small. Any ideas? Salt Flat

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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Aragorn, Thanks, I checked it again against my Krag icon

and I think what has happened is that the wood has warped inward (closed up) somewhat and won't fit over the receiver ring. Possibly I can steam it and block it into the correct shape. Thanks! Salt Flat

OK, So I'm glad I didn't mess with this handguasrd. Turns out it is for the 1895 Winchester musket. It looks a lot like a Krag icon

but it isn't! Looks like a good EBAY item. Salt Flat
