arky...call Ed, just click his link above for info...TC made the wood & Rhynite forends that are inletted for the bull barrel with carbine lug spacing, but if you find an older carbine inletted for the tapered barrel, you can open up the barrel channel in a few minutes...i wrapped sandpaper around a small spark plug socket & just slid it down the forend channel, and in 10 minutes, i had a forend done for mine. also had a black dusty mess, so you may wanna do that outside.

the main thing is to make sure you get a forend for carbine lug spacing...not pistol lug spacing. Hope that helps, Ed will know the difference if you tell him what you want.
