Ans: Yes. Parker stamped the SN under the curved joint part at the rear of the forend. Take out the two screws there, the two at the top, and the forend iron should come out easily.



I know none of you possess a crystal ball, advice is cheap and you get what you pay for - and the help here is free - I have a question. At this point, would further modifications, i.e., repairing the FE, changing the chokes (maybe even Briley), denigrate or decrease the value of the gun?

Ans: My opinon: If the forend is cracked, that can be and should be easily fixed. On chokes, I think you said you had F&Cyl? Those are common Parker upland chokes and it would take a lot for me to want to mess with Parker chokes.

Good luck.
