Weird handguard

What is this Krag icon

handguard? Looks like the front is cut for the 1901 sight's lever, the back for the 1898 or 1902, but the slot length and width appear to be for the 1892 or 1896 sight. Original Krag Rifle Stock Piece Upper Wood Hand Guard - eBay (item 140311048898 end time Apr-05-09 17:31:48 PDT)

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.

It is not a 1901, it is a 1902 handguard that someone has remodeled.

Looks like a repro that Bubba got creative with!!

I think you're right, the clips are not right, and the cut for the receiver ring is absent. Guess he needed a little more thumb purchase to catch the 1892/1896 ladder, and that he didn't like having the numbers on the side covered up any. Good eye! Looks like an oldie repro though.

Are you sure it's not for a Norweigian or Dane Krag icon

?

No judging by the images of them I was able to google up.

It's not a Krag icon

handguard at all, been digging around, appears to be for a Winchester 1895 musket.

I bought it, it appears to be for the Russian icon

Model of the 1895 Military Musket and will be sold for 2 to 4 times what I paid for it.
