In search of an 1899 Carbine Handguard

Hi guys, new here - so if I'm posting in the wrong spot, please forgive me.

I'm looking for an 1899 Carbine handguard for the 1901 type sight with windage adjustment.

I have the earlier type handguard for the 1896 type sight.  I need one with the larger opening and hump with lower shelf. 

Let me know if you guys can help me out - if you have one kicking around - or if you know of where to get one.

I'd like to go with an original if possible.  Would be willing to trade my earlier version carbine handguard.  Wink


Thanks in advance.



Edit - So I just found the classifieds section -  Doh! Cheesy

'BorderBacon': Welcome to the KCA Forum. Depending on the assembly date of your Model 1899 carbine, the 'rifle' type 1901 hand-guard might also be correct. The 'humped' hand-guard for the 1901 carbine sight was not adopted until February, 1902. (Of course, it was a correct replacement for carbines built earlier).

Awesome.  Mine is an early serial # - so this might have been the case.

I will keep my eyes peeled for either one I guess. 

Thanks!

I found a stock set online - the stock had been sanded and someone shortened it by an inch at the butt, but the handguard is original.

I plan on fitting an original buttpad to it for my "NRA Carbine" and using it as a shooter, or maybe selling it off.

Thanks for the info.  I'll update with pictures when I get things all put together.
