ran across an ad with not one but TWO forends configured just like the gun i have (so i guess whoever "homemade" mine was running quite the little cottage industry cranking these things out).

i'd still love to see an explanation somewhere for this shape. tried the remington collectors board but it was totally useless. also looked in that remington collectors book that's part of some series out now but it was as useless as the one i bought on brownings.
