Fox part, or pics, needed
 

I'm in need of one of the original horseshoe shaped forend reinforcement parts that Savage used to repair, reinforce Fox forends on which the long no. 8 wood screw, that pulls the forend iron tight against the rear of the wood, had stripped out or no longer had any purchase.

I do not know if Savage made them in gauge specific sizes or not. I'm needing to repair a 20 ga. SWE. I have had excellent advise given freely to me by a member here, that this may be the best way for me to go to ensure that this issue never happens again, on this gun, that is used for hunting only. The ridge of wood between/under the ejector springs is broken away, and there is scant wood there on a 20 in the first place.

If one of the original parts isn't available I can make one myself if I have a good close-up photo. I began the process, yesterday, to make a piece to inlet at the bottom, to thread a machine screw into, but realized that the "legs" of the horseshoe shape are desirable to give additional purchase in the sides of the forend wood, because the wood at the bottom of a 20 ga. forend is so thin already.

Thanks in advance, SRH

Stan, PM me your e-mail address and I will forward pics of the yoke and how it sits on the forend metal. Brett
