    1903a3 Handguard Clips

    Hey, all. I have a newly manufactured 1903a3 handguard that has the cut-outs for the clips but didn't come with them. What's the best way to go about installing them so I don't muck-up the clips or handguard?

    Thanks!

    The stock also came without the reinforcing bolts. Is there a preferred way to install these as well?

    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.

    To my surprise the Minelli stock set I ordered came with a precut handguard.
