Model 1892 Handguards

What would a good original handguard be worth?

Thanks

Ken, I tried selling one on ebay a couple times for a $75 starting bid. After a couple runs with no bids, it left attached to 92/96 that I sold with me keeping the 1901 handguard and sight that came on it. That was a couple years ago, could be there's someone needs one now.

Thanks madsenshooter. That's a part that would only be compelling to the few lucky enough to have a non upgraded '92.

Now waitaminit.... you could not get 75 bucks for an original, early style 1892 handguard? I thought mine was fairly valuable.

Kinda the same logic as on 1892 rear sights. People assume that, because the rifles are rare, the sights must be too. Nope, the reason the sights are plentiful is that they were taken off the rebuilt rifles, and very few people need one.

But now a days Dick, a person can get an authentic Larry E. Price repro 92 stock complete with cleaning rod slot and retrofit their 92/96s back to 92, if they can find a proper handguard and a few other things. I'll pass.

It's all window dressing without the unaltered receiver.
