snapped right in
I picked up a forearm from a 90xxx serialk number SW for my 105xx SN S from a gentleman I found on this site. I'm not surprised it snapped in. We had already fought WWI, and the auto industry was already rolling. I'd expect the US gun manufacturing industry to have figured out how to get in done by ...

foearm
The gentleman I'm buying the forearm from has agreed to refund the money minus shipping costs (& he is not burning me on the price). The forearm will snap on or it won't. Doing a certain amount of work doesn't scare me. I mig weld, I've done glass bedding & I have restocked a break action we...

Researcher - Kremer to Russell change year?
My Model 1911 clearly has a Kremer forearm. The Kremer does not fit on the 1925 gun so it must need a snap on Russell forearm.
Researcher - do you know what serial number/year of construction foreward when Russell forearms were used?

I've walked the area twice already
I brought flags and gridded it off. I'm going to try to borrow a metal detector & go back before I give up. I'm betting that the forearm with the right forearm iron will click right in. I'm sure that hand fitting is required for barrels & receivers but not the forearm. I have another Sterlin...

Need to replace forearm of a circa 1925 Sterlingworth
For reasons I do not understand the forearm of my Sterlingworth "disapeared" in the field yesterday. I'm thinking of buying a replacement forearm iron in white metal, fit it, cold blue & put it into a rough inletted blank. This is a gun is a shooter, professionaly reworked reblued but ...
