Rifle boot & pick handle

Required for my HUW, a CMP wooden rifle boot and military pick handle with the metal sleave at the head end.

I think so, and could replicate one based on the 4 I have. I just need one more to finish off the 5 required for the HUW and was hoping someone might have a spare. (and it looks like someone does).

I have the pick head and the helve part with the metal sleeve, The helve was broken but I have both pieces and I suppose a wood worker could easily repro.

You did give dimensions that I used to make replicas. A pair are installed to Bob Carriere's C15A and have been confirmed to fit a rifle.
Do you have any objection to me posting a PDF file of the relevant page(s) from Convoy?
