I cannot find a replacement forend for my R Murdock so I figured I would get a 2x2 at Home Depot for $10 and try to carve one. I have no special tools so it’s going to be a PITA I’m sure. I saw that there were forends for similar type rifles on Numrichs for around $33 plus shipping. I think they were from Stevens favorites? The stock looked to thick but said it was for an octagon barrel. I am having trouble figuring out of this buttstock is walnut or sone other type of wood. I want to make sure I buy the right piece of wood. The wood set below has boiled Lloyd seed oil on it. I just re blued the gun and sanded the wood furniture down and wiped a few coats of BLO on them. I would have thought walnut might be darker?
