I did not have good luck with East Taylor LLC in the Replacement hand guard area. I just finished restoring my 1898 Krag with original 30 inch barrel made in 1900. I had ordered a hand guard from East Taylor. The sight opening was to big. and it did not have good wood to metal fit. I am sending it back. I picked up an original hand guard on Gunbroker for $75. Turns out the seller was Carl Weiss, one of teh founding members of this Association. I'd check Gunbroker for stocks and hand guards. They seem to sell for less there than on eBay.

Good luck on your restoration and good shooting.
