I only wish I could live long enough to wear out a gun with the worst possible fore-end fastening system.

Stan, you have a kindred spirit in Pato, Jaycee's friend in Chile. Note forend "fastener" and stock "repair" on his well-used old Baikal. Photo posted originally by Jaycee a few years ago. Gil


My dad's old Eastern Arms (Stevens) .410 single has the same style forend fastener, but the tape's a different color. I'm pretty sure I can remember when it had a fastener that actually worked, because I used to clean it after we'd gone hunting. Come to think of it, however, I may not have detached the barrel. Just opened it and ran a cleaning rod.
