The original walnut fore end was fitted very poorly to a re barreled 1885 with a model 52 22 LR barrel and chambered 22 Hornet.
It shot well and the gunsmithing was good, but I suspect the client had fitted the fore end because it had huge gaps and didn't touch any of the right places.
I still have to epoxy bed and touch up the gaps to my new barrel
