0 Grade Lifter 10b 2 barrel set - missing a forend?

[Randy Roberts]

[QUOTE=

Would it normally have come with a new 2nd forend as well? As the 32” barrel’s forend will not work with the 28” barrels. I unfortunately don’t have a 2nd forend for the 28” barrels. Both barrels lock up tight without the forend.


Ben:

With regards to your question above concerning the 2nd forend there could be factory correct 2 barrel sets out there with only 1 but I have not seen any, never say never. All that I have seen have 2 forends numbered to the barrel set they belong on. The barrel sets are also numbered on the loop as is "one" of yours, the other does not appear to be making me suspect it is not PB work. See the last paragraph from the 1929 PB catalog concerning the topic at hand which will clarify how the boys at Meriden felt. Makes me wonder, has anyone here seen a correct 2 barrel set with only 1 forend ?
