After he passed his widow took it to a gun shop where she got screwed too. I guess what goes around comes around.

Have you shot that .410 barrel? Of course, they never did have a forearm.

No I haven't shot it you us the forend from the rifle barrel and the screw down the bolt on the barrel to connect with the the forend. Luckly my 410 barrel was not used much so the tip of the forend is in good shape. I use to collect Savage 99's before Parkers alway liked them so when I saw this one I grabbed it.
