Last week I have a big problem with the hand guard and the clamps creeping.
I had readjust these about every ten shots. Before going out today, I ran some
leather shoe string through the springs to hold every thing in place. Worked fairly
well. My day was short due to rain, did about 50 shots.
Was their a field repair for this, or is their a period correct mod that I can do?
This is what I thought some one would do back in the day.

That looks like a nice one to me. There are threads about this all over. Tap out the spring through the little hole or shim the spring or take the handguard off while shooting. It is a normal problem for the 91/30.

Looks like you just invented the field repair 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Looks way better than the piece of wire I have been using.
