You can certainly get custom ones made from different people. I went with a guy named Tony. His sight is tonysforendsandgrips.net I think. Really nice stuff. Bullberry will open up a stock forend for ya. It is $60 shipped. Last edited by raptortrapper; 07/30/2012 3:20 PM. A lot of people are like a slinky: Not much fun till you push them down the stairs!

You might give Stratton Custom a call. http://www.strattoncustom.com/ Also FWIW, you might have your barrel maker drill and tap for both rifle and pistol spacing. It will just give you more options.

The gun on the bottom is chambered in 6mm BR. The top gun is 338 GNR. NRA Life Member HHI Member VHA Member "get busy living, or get busy dying"

Bullberry told me it wouldn't, so I ordered one from them to the tune of $60. I compared that one to the rubber pistol forend that came with my pistol frame, and what bullberry sent me is a RIFLE forend that has been opened up to fit the heavy barrel! Oh well... Now I have one for a rifle if I ever need it! Sorry for the confusion and mis-information on my part! Last edited by raptortrapper; 08/02/2012 5:28 PM.
