Marlin 1898 foreend

Post by snapcap »

Greetings,

I have been repairing old Marlin 1898s. I have never been able to find a source for forends so I have had to make them myself out of pump shotgun forends and it is a real pain in the behind. I get my stocks from Precision in Kerrville Texas but they do not make forends. Do you all know of anyone who makes these animals?

I have been able to pick up a few on e-bay at a fair price and repair them!

To add to the responce I made about the forends, I have restored two of these shotguns and I found the same as you after much searching no sorce for a new forend.
