What other rifles handguard collet/retainer would be the closest fit that can be modified to fit the dsm 34's
 
I can’t think of any that small, when in doubt build your own! Haha. I have the blueprint here somewhere thanks to one of our members, I’ll dig it out.

Thanks I made it with a hammer :thumbsup:

I machined a mandrel to the correct diameter and then hammered it out, you gotta know how to shrink metal with a hammer though. The band was just made from cutting up a junk Mauser band of course.

Look at superman over here. Man of Steel.

You know how many ppl need those handguard retaining clips? Your such a tease holding out on us!
 
These were made in a die pressed steel. I originally made one out of a freeze plug.. It took hours and I wouldn't recommend it.
 
Well I fabbed one up from a black 35mm film canister...good fit for the barrel radius , minimal effort, not real noticable either. Will be just fine until I find suitible metal donor. Thanks all .
 
just posted the email of the guy who makes them for like 20 shipped.. they are drop in as well. no fitting required. worth it !
 
Part of some blueprints kindly sent to me by Luftmacher for the above project, thanks again! If you wish this to be removed please let me or the mods know.

For anyone who wants to go the brutal long way, here’s some ideas on how to hammer one out over a round buck.
