	Has anyone used these krag handguards for a restoration? They list at $65. Significantly cheaper than those at S and S ($90). I have hear about some handguards that use brass rivets.

	I've used one of their 1898/1902 Krag hand-guards and it was real decent with steel rivets. It only required a 1/8" trimming because it covered too much of the receiver ring. Another member recently bought the same hand-guard and the sight opening was real sloppy. Luck of the draw? I've also used one of their Krag forends to restore a cut down 1898 Krag rifle stock. It required slight trimming, front and rear, for correct length. But was nice walnut and accurately machined.

	I got one for my recently acquired 1898 Krag rifle, and it was a perfect fit to the rifle and the 1902 sight I got for it.

	I received one this week and am returning it. The sight cut out was over sized.
