Made mine out of 1/2" brass strip I picked up at the hardware store.

Lowes carries a great aluminum strip that I use for trigger guards and scope rails.

I used a 1.25" conduit clamp from Home Despot.

I always use aluminium sheet as i have it lying around ,brass sheet is good too but you could even try styrene sheet I am sure that would do the job

as a quick fix, I used a hair clip, reben tthe metal and then put in in place,

Not the best solution, but it worked.

I used a strip of .09 styrene and heat bent it around a guard-shaped piece of wood.

I actually found a dryer duct clamp at Ace hardware the other day and cut a piece of it to fit. It looks great. Thanks for all the advice guys.

If you are familier with a filing cabinet, look at the file hardware that is used to hold the hanging files. I used the part the file hangs on. It is easy to bend and is the right width for the grips. Look at the photo, the little metal bar on the left of the photo is the bar I use. Most office supply stores should have these. If you buy a cheap set you can get about 6 gaurds from the 2 pieces.
Good Luck,
Brian
