Not enough wood on the original handguard after I relieved for the thicker barrel. I will have to start from a brand new piece of wood - at a later time.

They already are, I love telling people that when they talk about those scary evil black rifles.

Looking for a candidate to convert.Did you shorten up the bolt stroke ?
Grizz
I did not do the caliber conversion, but I believe this is from a special interest arms kit - bolt stroke is unchanged.

Not familiar with them, can you post a link? I came up with nothing searching for a 'jc cone' on numrich's site...
EDIT: nvm, see a link now
Aah! You mean a jungle carbine flash hider - I'm not familiar with them - are they threaded? The barrel is already threaded 5/8x24 which presents some constraints on what will fit.
No.
They are very very tight fit machined to slip on and then cross drilled perpendicular and pinned with two tapered pins.
They are a mother. f**king. c**t. to remove lol Ask me how I know.... "blow torch, 4lb hand sledge, locked in a vice on a table bolted to the ground and using a block of bronze against the back of the flash hider hitting so hard you think it will break" style on there.
Almost as bad to get back on after you have removed it even after light sanding inside and much heat and lube.
Numrich sells both types. They did anyhow. There is a model that was for after market, commercial cut down no4 barrels post WWII (these have a different inside diameter 0.670" of the flash cone than stock true no5 barrels) and then they had the repro original No5 flash cones which would fit true no5 cut barrels inner diameter of 0.590"
Here is a repro ported one for the original No5 barrel:

I saw that too. waste of a handguard. When I did my tanker I salvaged a heavily bubba'ed but stock and made the upper handguards from it. Cut the barrel channel by drilling out the stock bolt hole and then carefully sawing it in half following the enlarged bolt hole.
a bit of time with the table saw and belt sander and you have a nice custom upper handguard.
the other option is use a heavily bubba'ed forestock, that way you have the barrel knox inletted already. Then its the same process, remove the excess wood and shape as required.

Granted it was a damaged handguard, I would not use a part that could go towards restoring a good mk4
I have the sporter forestock it came in originally, I'll see if I can use that...

Thread protector arrived...
Ordered one from Numrich, and they modified my order; they don't ship flashiders out of the US

That's typical on lots of gun goodies from US shippers unless they have the right export permits. I built up my one sans muzzle threads.

You're actually lucky at that. They're made of pot metal and a bayonet I tried on one wouldn't go on to it. A big disappointment they are. (especially if you have laid out the big $ for a Jungle Carbine bayonet to put on it)
