Although I rarely post here anymore I spotted this back page ad in Phoenix that may be of interest to some of the members. This guy has 55 forends for sale/trade. Have a look as there may be something you can use. I have No financial interest in these nor do I know the owner.

Anyone had any luck so far in finding a replacement forend they could use?
