Two drake redheads fell stone dead into the decoys at the same time two broken halves of a beavertail forend fell into the blind.
My Parker was out of commission and my retirement project was ruined.
Let me back up.... A year ago when I retired, one of my "Bucket List Projects" was to make a beavertail forend for my Parker Reproduction Magnum. The gun was purchased with a splinter forend, which I do not prefer, but a functional double trigger magnum, especially one with screw in chokes, is a rare find. In northern Minnesota where I live, the winters are very, (very,) long. I completed the project, fitted the forend, and checkered the work with an ameteur's precision (very little duct tape required).
I've shot the gun quite a bit...one and a half seasons in the blind, as well as upland hunting and regular sessions at the local skeet club.
I tried glueing the halves with quality epoxy buit it did not hold. I now must replace the forend.

Does anyone know of a source for Parker Beavertail forend blanks? I am a bit of a Do-It-Yourselfer with about seven months of pushing logs into the wood stove looking me in the face. Any advice finding a blank would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Steve Kleist Ely, MN
