David I got to see the gun ( I pick it up in 10 days after the Ca. waiting period) and on the receiver under the Serial #97677 is a O. On the top part of the receiver are three dates, one above the other. The first is MAR 29,83. The second is JULY 13,82. the third is OCT 5,88.Also under one of the barrels is marked( BD ). If you think the forend will fit how do you want to handle it?
