a memory failing question on early X grades

Post by vaturkey »

Were early X grades small bores ever made with snap on forearms like the early A, B, C and D grades? Also, were they always ejector guns or were some of the early guns extractor? PS. I think I recall seeing this before somewhere, but honestly, the years are messing with my mind. Thanks, Guys (and gals).

Sent you a PM Bobby, but thought of another question. Is your XE snap on forend for a 20 or a 16 gauge??
