BH 87337 what to do with it??

[Fishtail]

Bill - no, my gun has a normal splinter forend. This is the gun I bought from Cabela's some years ago that HD Kirkover had bought new. It letters as the first steel barreled B grade as I recall.

Don't want to hijack this thread but here are a couple pics of 87712. It's a #2 12/30 straight grip. I ha ve a little bit of a hard time shooting it as the stock is smooth enough that it's a little tougher to hold onto than I like.

I should add that I believe it is the first made with 'Parker' steel barrels and that some had been made earlier with Whitworth barrels.
