Marstar Canada - Dark Hardwood - Red Savage Stained (LE4-035B)

If I were to replace, which I am thinking I may replace and repair does anyone know any good used suppliers?

I am looking for the Dark Hardwood- Red Savage Stained. Marstar is sold out

bdeveau: That's a good plan- you'll learn all about the stocking up whilst fitting a new one and you can fix the original without rushing. I've ordered a few forends off e-bay with quite good luck. Always seems to be a few vailable and I believe they can be shipped up from the US of A without any problem?

Where do you guys recommend finding a replacement forestock. I do not want new.

Thanks everyone

Try Liberty tree collectors they are based in the states and always seem to have second hand forends in stock.

iirc the forestocks they have though are all Indian 2a1 forestocks, and are not necessarily in shootable condition

Just fix the one that's broke! We fixed them EVERY day of my working life as an Armourer. What do you think the answer would be from the boss of the Armourers shop/Armourer Sergeant if you wanted to replace every broken fore-end or even butt?

Just fix the one that's broke. At least you know it fits, it fits properly and has fitted properly from the day it was fitted properly - by an Armourer many many years ago until the day before it broke. When was the last time you replaced an engine just because the rocker cover was warped and sprang a leak?
