Shotgun Family Photo
« on: March 22, 2009, 04:27:31 PM »
Took a picture of the line up. As you can see I'm partial to straight grip stocks.
From top to bottom:
20 Gauge Pardner SB1 with screw in choke
28 Gauge Topper SB2 MOD choke
.410 Bore Pardner Versa Pack FULL choke

Andy "MSPRet" was nice enough to cut that stock into a straight grip for me on the 20 gauge. The only problem is he caused me to become addicted to straight grip stocks  ;D. Even my .22 LR Sportster wears a straight grip and schnabel forend. They just "feel" right to me.

  Those are really nice! Did you do the front end too or did you buy it like that?

  I just got a .44 and I'm thinking that the only thing that keeps it from being plumb perfect is the lack of a straight stock like they put on the BC.

The 20 gauge forend came like that, those used to be standard forends from NEF a few years ago. I bought that stock set here on the classifieds. The BC stocks on the 28 gauge were also bought on the classifieds. Sometimes you can also find a straight grip factory palletwood butt stock that came on the older H&R's. My .22LR Sportster wears one of those. Try posting on the WTB forum and see if you can come up with anything. Some people don't like the straight grip which is good for us  :)

From the pics you posted, it looks as there the BC forearm is longer.  How much longer is it than a standard schnabel forearm??  Would you measure it for me please? 
Thanks

The standard forend is approx. 8 1/8" long while the BC forend is approx. 11 1/4" long so there is quite a difference.

   If I'm not mistaken the center one with the long forearm was taken off of a Buffalo Classic in either .45-70 or .38-55. The BC "Carbine" in .45 Colt appears to have a shorter forearm which for my tastes would be perfect.

Rusty........you are carrect.I'm gonna be getting a 45colt BC foreend for on my 20ga that has a BC stock set on it.I think with the shorter forend it will help with balance of the shotgun.
