It's a 12 gauge 116, one of their lower end sidelock guns. And yes the forend fits both barrels. The issue is AyA discontinued the 116 a while ago, and finding/having new forend iron made would probably be out of my price range. I can "deal" with having the beavertail, but I just prefer a splinter. It's a shooter, so I'm not too concerned with keeping it factory original. Its already had the stock lengthened and a pad added.
Why would you have to have a new forend iron? Simply use the forend iron from your beavertail and just replace the wood. If you sell the gun and the new owner wants a beavertail he can remount the forend iron back on it.
