I'm thinking it will work fine, but I'm not familiar with the ejector guns, so...

Will,

I would ask your question on the AH Fox Collectors Association forum. Many AHFCA members are also PGCA members but you might get a faster response there.

Good luck,
Mark

Pretty big difference in the inletting.



The A-/AE-Grade checkering patterns varied over time --



Top 1930s
Middle 1914-early 1930s
Bottom up to 1914

Well, dang. Thanks guys. The pictures really help. I guess I'll keep looking. There is an AE on Gunbroker I was hoping would work.

FWIW, any one of those A-Grade forearm woods I pictured could be had for $125.

Hmmm....The gun I have is 2200 range serial number. The checkering on the butt is flat top. Is that the correct style for such a low numbered gun, as opposed to the pointed checkering in the above examples?

A gun in the 2200 range would be an early Wayne & Bristol Street gun from 1906. The earliest of my three 12-gauge forearm woods is from 12417. The next is 23069.

Dave, or anyone else, what style of checkering is correct for this gun? The stock has flat top similar to many LC Smith's, but I don't see a serial number beneath the trigger guard. The forend has the serial number under the end of the iron, but there isn't any checkering visible.
