Finnish Mosin Parts Needed

[Tokarevsrule]

I just picked up a Finnish Mosin M28, great shape except for the handguard. The handguard is cracked and broken, and the rear retaining band is missing. Does anyone know where to find one? I've been looking without any success outside of auction listings that ended 15 years ago (why those show up in searches I don't know).

You might try liberty tree collectors. I see the hand guard for sale.

Yes, Liberty Tree Collectors is the place, as 1911JAS suggests.

The rear band a screw can take some time, but watch Ebay, thats where I have had success.

I hope its a shooter!

A Riflemans rifle!

The have M28/30 handguards, but no M28 handguards or rear retaining bands

Well upper handguards were created by craftsmen back in I assume late 1920's and early 1930's.
This sounds like a winter time fabrication project.
Wood crafting and metal fabrication?

How cracked/broken? If it's all there you can probably glue it.
