Forestock replacement for an 1883/82 S/S
Forestock replacement for an 1883/82 S/S
I have what I believe is an 1882 or 83 hammer S/S that came down through family. From the information gathered here I think I have a decarbonized steel barrel with no engraving and a 6369 serial number. It is missing it's forestock. Where would one look to purchase a replacement. I understand serial numbers will not match, but it would be nice to have a complete gun to hang over the mantal. Thanks for any time given. Geoff
