Forend will need to be tightened back up against the frame knuckle but that's about it.

Could be a soak in raw linseed oil will bring things back to close to original dimensions.

I wish it were that easy, the actual forend iron has about .75mm fore/aft play and only butts up to the action knuckle when pulled back against the action. To do it right will likely require a 'smith to weld up then file to fit the back of the forend hanger, or maybe reposition the hanger aft and resolder to the barrels. At any rate I have an email off to JJ at Champlins to see about the work.

What a wonderful rifle for deer, B-bear, moose and elk & grizzlys, Mike!

Daryl,
We are fresh out of Grizzly's here in Western Colorado.......our poor little 200lbs Black Bears would likely die of fright. (My neighbors Bernese Mountain Dog is bigger than most of the bears)
I hope to get a chance at them this coming Fall season.

Go git 'em. A 340/360gr. or so, cast .50 cal bullet sifting along is easy on meat and a great killer - about perfect - and a fun gun to hunt with, I'll bet.

You are so correct! Went on hearsay, I ought to have checked my atlas and national borders before posting that.....
In fact I should know better, I lived in the UK for 3 years whilst in the USAF and traveled thru that area.
