Krag Handguards

[JohnnieDavis]

Hi all, I have a quick question. I have an 1892 Krag updated to 1896 configuration. It had the '96 sight on it, but I put a 1901 sight on it to adjust for windage. It didn't have a hanguard, but now that I'm shopping for one I'm a little confused.

If I buy the 1901 handguard, will it fit on the rifle the same a 1896 would? The 1901 looks to be shorter in front of the sight, not reaching all the way to the barrel band, is this true?

Hijacking my own thread, are the trigger guard screws/rear sling swivel interchangeable with those of a 1903?

thanks

Try S&S they have an on-line catalog with pictures of handguards and sights.

I used the 03 swivel and screws on one of my Krags.

Hope this helps.

I think S&S buys them from Dunlap Woodcrafts in Chantilly Va. I've dealt with both and either are great to deal with, but you might get it a little cheaper directly from Dunlap, and if you send them your stock, they'll match a hand guard to your original wood.
