Yeah, I would have preferred an original forend, but it just wasn't happening after many months of searching. I will be the first to admit that I do not possess the patience of Job, it was either continue dusting off the replacement stock, selling it, or having a new forend made. I chose the latter. Besides, it's fun to have a project going!
The replacement stock is stamped with the number "30" -- no explanation as to why, it just is. If I were to serialize it to the gun as well as date it, do you really think it would add any value?
