So I bought an old Yugo M48. When I disassembled it back in November to clean the cosmoline out of it, the very thin front portion of the hand guard broke into two pieces and separated from the rest of the hand guard. I was expecting that to happen since I could see the split before I broke it down. After searching, with no success, for another hand guard, I decided to make use of what I had to work with.
So I bought a bottle of DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. I chose that stuff because I've used it before with great success. After it hardens overnight, I'll sand off the excessive glue and put a coat or two of clear satin poly on it. The hand guard and stock of the rifle have already been sanded. I just need to get the glue off. Other than the broken piece of hand guard and the friggin cosmoline, this rifle is in remarkably good condition. My son and I can't wait to take it out and shoot it.
