Can it be fixed ? If not frame size and gauge , serial number would date it . Also if it has ejectors or extractors

[Mark Callanan]

Serial number is 230xxx
VH Grade
I need the wood only
Any other info that I should list for the add?

[Rick Losey]

Ejectors or extractors ? 230xxx is not in the book . If you are sure its not A VHE the E wont be on the water table,

A 230,thousand range gun is likely not to have any surviving information that is in the posession of the PGCA.

Well i paid 950.00 for the gun
I assume it would cost 400 plus
So I was posting here to try and find a used part
Still looking..
Thanks all for the help so far...

A VH Grade 1 1/2 frame forend wood should be fairly easy to find. Fixing a crack may be the best option, however.

[John Campbell]

Unless your forend is completely trashed, it can most likely be fixed... and virtually invisibly -- at least by a pro. It will be MUCH cheaper than a new forend, too. I hesitate to suggest resources for this lest I be denounced as a shill.

If you are looking for a replacement forend, it is also important to note the length of the iron. There was some variation in the lengths. I have observed some iron tangs that are 4.5" long and others that are 4.75" long. The screw spacing on all are the same.
