I decided some time ago to build two more fore ends, each fitted to one of the rifle barrels, so that there are no unsightly gaps between wood and barrels. It proved to be a big job but I'm now in the home stretch. The attached two photos show the original in the rear and the new ones to the front, one assembled and the other still in pieces. More photos to come in a few weeks when all of the checkering, stock finishing, and rust-bluing is completed.
