ejector fore end availability

I have an opportunity to buy a 20 Ga AE but there is no fore end. any complete fore ends around? any idea what they have been going for. I don't want to get too deep into this is the fore end is prohibitive. what can I expect to pay for a complele ejector fore end and wood?

Re: Another 20 Ga Sterlingworth Project started.

Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated. after deer season I was going to go back to where we flushed a bunch of grouse on my property, way up on topo of the mountain. But the snow got deep, then crusted and hard to walk and just never improved for the dog or me. Maybe some preserve birds in M...

Re: Another 20 Ga Sterlingworth Project started.

Finally done and in my hands. I have not shot it yet. weather has not cooperated. My photos of the engraving dont do it justice. https://i.postimg.cc/9Mx7QmFK/IMG-5364.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FskLhQtC/IMG-5365.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BbX18rj6/IMG-5367.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RhyJwgtT/IMG-5368.jpg...

Re: Project from Hell

While it is a nice gun, the ordeal has left a bitter taste. This due to the length of time but even more so from the promises broken, lies and BS I dealt with for the 6 years. I took this person at their word and never pestered. My feeling ios that if a person cant man up and just say they cant do i...

Re: Another 20 Ga Sterlingworth Project started.

as you can tell, this is a grouse themed gun. And since I am a springer man, I felt that Springers should be the dog of choice for the game scenes. I am doing the receiver in French gray, because that, in my opinion, shows the engraving much better than case color. And this engraving needs to be see...
