As part of a restoration project for a Norwegian Krag Jorgensen chambered in 6.55 x 55 Swedish, I need a front barrel band - ie the bit of metal that secures the forend woodwork in place. Any assistance / suggestions as to where such a thing might be found would be much appreciated.When finished the rifle will look something like the one below.

Badger, did you have any luck finding what you needed? If not then check out these folks. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Default.aspx

I'm pretty sure that they won't ship abroad but if you can find or know of some animal loving type living in the US, they may be of a mind to have it shipped to them and then on to you. BTW don't click on K for Krag, click on U for US military and you will find all the Krags in there.

Badger if needs be you can have it sent to me if you like and I will send it on to you. Shipping won't be that much.
