Nope.  :-\ H&R used to make them, but not for a long time, you might find someone that will sell one, but don't count on it, Toth made some, but don't any longer.

Coaldust, I've heard bad things also, BUT when you get it please report on quality, ease of install, etc.

Thanks.

Since I just got done making a brass forend spacer I decided to try making a trigger guard from brass so they'd match.  Found a chunk today that'll work.  It's going to be a bit more of a task than the spacer was though...

I don't have a measured drawing and probably won't take the time to make one.  I used a factory spacer for reference and would recommend you measure the one on your Handi(s) if you are interested in making one of your own.

But... if it'll help any...

Width = 1.250"
Height = 1.200"
Depth = .750"
Radius of both concave cuts = 1.125"
Screw Holes = .750" OC
Receiver radius is centered on screw holes.
Barrel radius is centered on spacer and is approximately .474" deep
