, OK Guys, go no further than H&R1871!!! Order a forearm for a Buff Classic or Target Model, they are the same. They fit my Handi's great, are just short of 12" long, nicely checkered, a bit wider and flatter and are nice american black walnut and yes I mean real walnut!!! I think they are $31.00 and fit perfect. Go to the H&R rifle section and check out the forearm on the Buff Classic, real sweet. I had it on my 45/70 first but now it's on my 7x57 Handi with a Fajen walnut buttstock that I finished myself with only 4 coats of WaterLox pure Tung Oil....Sweet finish and waterproof!!!....<><.... :grin:
