Reproduction forend tragedy, please help me!

[Bill Murphy]

Wow, a very scarce set of barrels. You may be able to sell what's left of your gun for the price of a 12 gauge Repro with 26" barrels. Try listing it on gunsinternational.

Why is everyone in such a hurry to see the man sell his gun? My Christmas card list is longer than the list of people looking for an incomplete Repro. It's only been a week since the sad event. Last time I checked, Jarheads don't retreat, they dig in. There's probably more than a dozen of you with two barrel sets, most of whom don't shoot both. Show a Vet some love and loan the man a fore end and a piece of duct tape. Hell, Veteran's day was only a week ago.

I was at our local Amish market today. The clerk at the donut counter saw my Marine Corps Foundation ball cap, commented and thanked me for my service. Well, I'm an Army veteran, but I thanked him. He still collected full price for my dozen donuts. He could have thrown in one extra, but didn't.

Don’t two barrel set repro’ s only have one forearm?

[Bill Murphy]

Yes, one forend with a two barrel set unless the purchaser special ordered a second forend.

Good point. I have seen a couple that had two FE, but they weren't 12ga.

Of the 6 12ga. DHE Repros with 28” barrels currently for sale on gunsinternational.com, 4 of them are factory choked IC/M. These were a standard cataloged offering. Having seen many such factory choked 12ga. DHE Repros having 28” barrels through the years I would not claim they were a very scarce set of barrels.

Others have stated that Repro 2-bbl. sets typically were furnished with a single forend, true - unless an extra forend was special ordered. However; all factory 28/.410 bi-gauge 2 & 3-bbl. sets were typically furnished with two forends.
