Dean, I haven't heard the word "peavey" in the longest time.
I have one and have used it for some logging in my backyard.
Mighty useful tool when cutting logs.
Closest I've come to that sort of find was a 12 foot chain haul in the middle of the woods in Maine.
The area hadn't been logged in at least 25 years, but the chain haul was in reasonable shape.

I'm still not sure I understand the difference between a peavey and a cant hook. I've got one or the other dredged from the bottom of the Au Sable about 3 years ago. Would have been in the water for over a century.

A peavy has a pointed spike on the end and a cant hook has a blunt end with a flange. Peavys are use to manipulate logs, in a pile for example. Cant hooks, as the name implies, is intended to be used for manipulation of large squared timbers, as in a saw mill.

Default Peavey

So A cant hook can't spear a log but a peavey can. Am I right? As far as the fore end goes keep your eye out for a two end fore end gun and see if the owner would sell one, they may take pitty on a gun not used. Also try Larry DelGrego. We do not have any iron for them.. I was surprised how many calls I got when we were selling these how many people lost them. One poor chap lost two to two different guns. He took one from another gun on his favorite gun and went out in the same area looking for the first one and lost that one also. Good luck.

Yes, you're right Richard.

Lost two forends to two different guns...? I'm speechless (through discretion).

What I can't understand is with today's modern equipment, why can't they be made somewhere. Also we know CSMC has forend irons that they use on the Remington
28 ga Parkers, but never had heard them selling any parts.
