James,
Does that Robust 7 have double fore end hooks? If so, I don't think I've seen that before? (I've yet to scratch the Ideal itch, so it may be the same) Is this what "crochet encastre" means? Recessed hook...or opposing hook? ...or does that term apply to the lock up only?
this one has only one...
Robert it has an unusual forend release. When you rotate the release lever the forend moves forward, lifting straight up removes it. When you replace it turning the lever back moves it back to the gun. No pressure and very secure there is actually 3 lugs that secure the forend. I can tale a picture of the lug arrangement and email it to you. I don't have an Ideal, maybe someone that does can tell us
Jim
