For anyone interested, here's one I did a year or so ago. The forend came out just about perfect, so I suppose I could do another one, but I'll hold out a while as the real McCoy occasionally turns up. Also for anyone considering doing one, you can get a very good result out of a quite beat up forend as you taper the whole thing to a new profile, in elevation and plan so the only surface timber still on the surface after conversion is the part of the forend aft of the receiver ring (or where it would be).
