We all need to crawl before we walk, so that we can appreciate the Mossbergs of life.

Definitely an F barrel, definitely not standard factory forearm, definitely a mid-50's receiver. Sling eye on the front, but not sure it's a 99R sling eye, and a sling stud on the buttstock.
Past that can't say. Nice work on the forearm.

My first thought was that the forearm was from a 99T. Definitely well made though. Tom

Just think what we would get if there were any characteristics of a 99A in that 99FRT!

Golly, I never thought of that. I thought it was just a good abbreviation for that other word.
