Default X on fore end lug

The X appears on the fore end lug on guns of most if not all grades. It is a mark to notify someone further down the production line that a different part or fit was used somewhere on that gun. The fore end iron is a critical part in the breech fit of a Parker; the X may indicate that a different (or additional)fore arm fit was necessary to make the breech fit properly.

Best, Austin
