Fore end iron question

Post by CableguyJJS3 »

Ok so I know this isn't Fox, or like no Fox I've ever seen. And I found it in a box marked NID parts, and everything else in the box is NID, I don't think this is though. Anyone have any ideas what this might be off of? Never seen an iron like this before.

Pretty sure that is a Flues SBT forearm iron.

Ok I'll buy that, numbers fit in that frame for sure. And I cleaned it up some, now I can see the engraving and a 7, so would that make this a grade 7 iron?

Probably. You might want to try posting in the Ithaca section on Shotgunworld.com and see if Walter Snyder has any info on that serial number --

Not with that 306853 serial number. Knicks began at 400000.
