Parker Remington Forend
I also have a late remington beavertail forend gun that has an interior finished with a few coats. It also has the molded ridge that fits up to the rib on the bottom of the barrels. Looks like some sort of resin. Easy to overlook has it is very wood like appearance. Did remington have trouble machining these late gun beavertails? Mine has very nice figure like many late guns. I have heard well figured or burly walnut has a tendency to chip more than straight grain.The gun is all original condition without a screw turned. Maybe the wood was splintering on remington when they were drilling for the bolt on the end of the forend? Or is the bolt hole drilled first and the barrel channels machined later? Either way I can see where this could be a trouble spot.
