Krag
handguards have been known to crack while off the rifle.
Never 'snap' a Krag handguard 'off' or 'on' a barrel.
With the sight and stock taken off of the barreled/action, the Krag handguard can be moved toward the muzzle to relieve the tension of the clips and easily removed.
A handguard can be put on the barrel at the muzzle and pushed back into position, to install.
A little solvent or CLP on the barrel metal aids the process.
This information sure is really important for the handguard, since the 1901 rear sight is specific to the rifle, finding the Handguard is difficult, keeping it in good condition is critical.

This ladder assembly is harder to locate, I am going to have to keep at it. I just need the main body.

Found a really nice stock.
No cracks, no refinish, all original, really nice. This is a excellent find.

Nice looking stock, the photo does not show the wood grain, but by the color, I suspect it is one of the Italian
walnut ones.
