I'll try and remember to take a pic of the top of the gun @ the forend next time I have the camera out, yes it is considerably slimmer than Parker made them. I made this gun to "shoot" so didn't make much of an effort to match the Parker forend. I think the best factory forend of any gun I ever owned was the small bevertail on a F.Rizzini R1. When I do a bevertail it is usually copied after that but this one is rounded a little more on the front because of no Anson & Deely latch on the end. Stocking a really clean SC trap that I bought couple of wks ago on the net, and except for dimensions will be trying to pretty much match Parker in shape, will see how it comes out. Regards JH
