Before I celebrate too much I want to ask for any input from you, my new friends at Graybeardoutdoors. I have just recently bought my first Encore. I too, have gone head over hills and for this gun and ordered more stuff than I probably really need. My latest purchase was a camo stock and forend for my 209X50, a 209X12 Gauge barrel and a forend for this barrel. However, when my order was sent the camo 209x50 was backordered. This is when I examined my 209X50 synthetic forend and compared it to my 209X12. Everything lined up perfect and when I tried it on the 209X50 much to my suprise it worked, however the after I had tightened down the screws in the forend I could not take the ramrod out. At this time, I re-examined both forends again and noticed that the screw post inside the 209X12 were shorter than the ones on my synthetic 209X50 so I used two 5 cent washers to make up the difference and everything seems to work just fine now. Has anyone else ever tried this? Is there any reason that I don't need to do this? I just help myself for being so happy in saving close to $50, heck that is a good start on another barrel. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!
