dimensions for '41 sniper or better yet a true mechanical drawing

[Jim in Salt Lake]

Pelago, I used Senich's book that Jim Gaynor speaks of above. It has several good pictures that give a good look at how the handguard looks after the modification. I used a band saw and used double stick tape to attach the handguard to the side of a square piece of wood. I didn't worry too much about exact dimensions, just made it look like the picture. Some of these handguards were made in the field and I felt (have no evidence) there were no exact specs for this part. I've seen pictures of handguards that look pretty rough, particularly the cut out for the scope block.

Chuck are you still offering your jig for locating the forward (barrel) scope block?
Jim

" made in the field"
If one thinks about it, in '42'43'44 who cared, as long as the final product killed japanese or german soldiers. "probably 'looks right' said more often than not"
got some sad for arm pieces to experiment with

That's what I did, practiced on the cut down handguard that came with the "sporterized" rifle I used as the basis for my 1903A1.
