Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Need a 1B or V forend

Got a funky #3 rifle,rebarreled to V type. Found a #1 buttstock for it.
Got a pad too, thats close enough.
Now to find a B or V forend in decent shape.
No luck yet.
Lemme know if ya come across one

NVRMND, got a forend on the way.

Need to sand some to fit but itll work

If it doesn't work out let me know. I have a #1V forend I took off for a build project.

I found an unfitted ruger red pad in a box of stuff
Says goodyear on the inside.

Thanks for the offer but w the shorter bbl the AH looks about right. Popped the one off my B and it looked stubby.

Update:

Forend not yet fitted.

Whoever built this thing drilled the scope base holes not aligned. Yes a windage rear will work, but its way over.

So.....i think the pig needs rebarreled.

Who should I send this to?

A 24" heavy bbl in .243 ( standard twist ) would be OK.
So would a B cut to 24".

Or maybe have it redone to something else.
Maybe med weight bbl in .35 rem?

Both PacNor and McGowen will rebarrel them for about the same cost. I have #1b in 7mm mag with a roached barrel that I may send off to one of them. Need to finish up some other projects, before I get serious on it.

It wears a McGowen bbl in .219 DWasp.....but I dunno who drilled and tapped it for the bases.
Shame.
Using the windage base/ring at rear I can get it aligned. But it's about max'd and looks stupid.
IMHO it needs done right.
But that will move the rear base slightly fwd.

I guess the bbl could be set back a bit.

I'll try to call Penrod this week. No hurry.

If your forearm doesn't work let me know. I have several stocks and forearms for No. 1 and 3's.

easy to weld up holes and redrill

Yup, got a guy lined up to do that.
Gonna coat me some limited production kick azz suds too.

I have a number one action that needs a butt stock and fore end. Can you send details on what you have for sale? Thanks

If you need a set of extra-high rings, 6s IIRC, you know where to find me.....
