I bought this hand guard to restore a cut down “sporterized” 1903A3 rifle. The price was great, and free shipping made it an easy choice. But I get the most satisfaction from the fact that this replacement part was manufactured during WW II. It fit perfectly and looks great on the rifle. I waited 18 days for it to arrive, from Holland! I think that’s pretty fast! Sooner than I expected.

This is much better than I expected, it does need to be finished, but after a coat Military stock stain and a Linseed oil finish I couldn't tell the difference from 1943 stock that I was trying to match up. Get one or two they are not making them any more.

The handguard retaining ring was a perfect fit and the quality was great. I was able to repair my 75 year old rifle and return it to functionality.

Absolutely beautiful! I lightly sanded the 1903-A3 hand guard, & applied 6 coats of pure Chinese Tung oil. Exactly what I needed to replace my cracked one! Thank you!
