finally sourced a original 33/40 handguard,
picked up a pair of screws from an online vendor. Screws are non scalloped 33/40 re-pops.
however screws are a hair too long, the bolt won't retract when the screws are in all the way. Rear one needs to be backed out about a turn.
are there washers that were used from the factory under the screw heads? Thinking about hitting the screw with a grinder to shorten it up a smidge seeing how its not original.
everything else on this gun is original and numbers matching (bolt MM) so i want to keep it as original as possible.
