garjo Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hello - got an old Miroku O/U- how easy is it to get replacement forend? are forends interchangeable? ie, could you use forend from more up to date Miroku? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Changing another fore-end wood to your fore-end metalwork should be a straightforward swap. Fitting a complete new fore-end (wood and metal) to your gun's action might require a trip to the gunsmith to ensure it all fits properly though, as wear on contact faces might affect fit. Really old Mirokus have a round shaped sprung loaded piece of metal on the underside of the fore-end that locates into the action, it was changed on later models and the two aren't interchangeable. My 800S made between 1976-80 has the later type of action if that helps. Edited January 23, 2011 by philr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 There are two types in the last 25 years. The three hole and two hole. They are similar and could be adapted - bit of fiddling. Normally they fit straight away, but I bought a brand new one which didn't fit. I had to take a bit off here and there - didn't get it perfect. If you get a used one of the same type, it should go straight one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
