Forearm Reinforcement Rod

[John Davis]

Three Remington era Parker SBT forearms. From bottom to top.

1) 1937 SC. This is the typical trap forearm and original to the gun.

2) 1937 SB. This is wider than the typical trap forearm but original to the gun.

3) 1936 SC. This is the forearm in question with the recessed reinforcement bolt. It is wider than typical and shaped more like a BTF on a side by side. I'm on the fence but lean toward it being original.

Is there a note in the stock book explaining the odd forend?

IBM cards on all three. Nothing more than grade, barrel length and where they were shipped to.
