The forend width dimensions are in The Parker Story. No, the #2 frame forend was narrower than the #7, but it snapped on and kept my barrels from falling off until I was able to get a proper forend. The story about finding a proper forend is long and sad. After having the proper forend on the gun for a while, I found the gun that the forend belonged on in London, UK at an auction house. I didn't want to sell my forend to the auction house, so I bid an absolutely ridiculous amount for the gun, not even knowing how I was going to get it home. The London auction house was very helpful, describing the gun over the phone and trusting a new bidder to pay a bill of five figures. I was astounded when my bid was beaten. By an even stranger coincidence, my friend Destry knew who the successful bidder apparently was. Destry gave me some information on the successful bidder, but it did not help me to get my gun or for the bidder to get his forend back.
