Reproduction forend tragedy, please help me!

[Jim DiSpagno]

Thanks Edgar let's get this show on the road. We need guts for the fire end. I have a latch and will look for the screws.

You should explore all avenues of finding the original forend assembly. Finding an old Parker assembly and/or parts make up & it being a drop in fit, is wish full thinking. More than likely it will need to be fit by a good gunsmith that's willing & competent to do the needed fitting. This could get very expensive. If, you could find an original Parker Reproduction, it would probably be a drop in fit, and/or very little fitting. But, finding one would be nearly impossible. So, try to find your original. This is your best option, or sell what you have, & take that money, plus some more & buy a new repoduction and in the end this will probaly be the cheaper route in the long run.

How long are your barrels and what are the chokes?

" For reference the gun is a DHE 12ga 28” barrels choked IC/MOD "

Wow, a very scarce set of barrels. You may be able to sell what's left of your gun for the price of a 12 gauge Repro with 26" barrels. Try listing it on gunsinternational.

Why is everyone in such a hurry to see the man sell his gun? My Christmas card list is longer than the list of people looking for an incomplete Repro. It's only been a week since the sad event. Last time I checked, Jarheads don't retreat, they dig in. There's probably more than a dozen of you with two barrel sets, most of whom don't shoot both. Show a Vet some love and loan the man a fore end and a piece of duct tape. Hell, Veteran's day was only a week ago.

I was at our local Amish market today. The clerk at the donut counter saw my Marine Corps Foundation ball cap, commented and thanked me for my service. Well, I'm an Army veteran, but I thanked him. He still collected full price for my dozen donuts. He could have thrown in one extra, but didn't.

I want to see this young Patriot get his gun back together. Don't sell it or part it out.

In general discussions there is a reference to a complete 12ga forearm on eBay from a day or so ago. SEMPER FI

Don’t two barrel set repro’ s only have one forearm?
