He lost it at his last hunt in the field, we drove back out to the hunt site and could not find it.
He was probably taking his gun apart putting it in the case and set it on the side of the truck and drove off. Not a good way to end your last hunt. |

It's only a gun.
I hope he can focus on all the good times he had in the field - not so much about the gun as those times you both shared. .

I understand but when you get to a certain age you have a tendency to dwell on certain things and have a hard time letting go

A friend lost a forearm on a LC Smith a few years ago while hunting, he got a metal detector and found it, it took awhile but he found it. It might be worth a try.

I can't remember who did the skit "Testicles, Spectacles, Wallet & Watch" but I thought it was pretty corny. Not so much anymore.

Good luck either finding the missing forearm or locating a suitable replacement Alan. |

Alan,
Steve Barnett has a 20 GA Repro Forend Wood and Tip for $80. Then you would only need the Iron, Ejector Mechanism and Latch from an original Parker. Bob Jurewicz |
