Dean, looking at the inletting in the wood for the forend iron, there is no provision for the extended iron or a hole evident for the screw to pass through. Are we looking at the same pics on page two of this thread? In the second set of pics Mr. Abraham shows the inletting for the forearm iron ( the picture showing the serial number stamped in the wood), it looks like the inletting for a standard forearm iron and no thru hole.
Am I missing something here? Quick link below.

Perhaps pics from a different angle
would make it more evident to my feeble old eyes.
