Here are some updated photos. I'm happy with it. I made the cleaning rod out of a stock piece of steel rod and a brass bolt filed down to size using a file and a drill and then cutting the center out with whatever worked, drills files, etc. It is screwed onto the rod. Rod fits both ends. Hand guard came from Numrich and started life as one of the Turk Mauser hand guards but I don't know which one. It took a lot of fitting but is shaped to match from photos of others I have.
