10 ga barrel diameter
« on: August 04, 2010, 01:16:24 PM »
I asked about the scnable foreamr for 10 gauge etc. well i traded a 20 ga semi auto for a h&r 10 ga. the barrel channel in the forearm is 1 1/8 " the barrel diameter itself is only a fraction smaller . can any one measure the width of their scnable foreend
In theory its sound ",but in practice its flawed

I measured 3 of them, 1.42" is the narrowest, 1.47" the widest, but it's only .715" thick at the shallow part just behind the bulb at the tip, not much depth to work with there.

That's .1725" on each side and likely a hole in the bottom at the thin part!!  :-\
