Replacement forearm for LC Smith featherweight

Posted by Mike Kafura on August 18, 2022, 4:27 pm

I have a splinter forearm on my LC, and want to have a beavertail forearm made. I would like recommendations on who I should have complete this work.
I will do the checkering and finish, but would like to get the fitting completed, or a reputable semi completed source.

Mike: because of the weight of the BTFE you will need some kind of barrel loop reinforcing support

The most important thing you will need is a better way to hold the longer and wider wood onto the barrels better. I would suggest you look for the wood that has a roller release on it and along with the "J" spring it will stay put and not fall off.
Jerry Andrews might be able to help you. 304-843-1740 Moundsville, WV
