younggunjoyce Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi all, I need your help! I’m looking for the forened for a Bettinsoli o/o shotgun, if what I’m told is correct most models have the same style of fitting. I would take another forend as long as its suitable for the gun and wouldn’t take to much altering and the right price! Please help, the season's not far away now and I’d hate to share a gun with my father in law again! I have a the original forend but I have dropped the gun and is split, (hence the need for a replacement) I've have tried soldering and fixing but after I put a number of cartridges through the gun it's back to the drawing board. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The chances of getting another make to fit - metal or wood - are slim to zero, I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphant59 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi. Try the importers RUAG. My son split the forend on his Diamond. Think new one was only £35 posted. I sent them a digital photo of the old one and they matched a new one perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 If you get hold of a copy of sporting gun or sporting shooter there is someone advertising stocks and forends for sale,couldnt do worse than give him a bell,that or as others have said go straight to the importer/manufacturer,best of luck Adrian.Bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Or you could take the original to a gunsmith and see if he can repair it,sometimes they can be glued and pinned professionaly check out the shooting press for local gunsmiths,or google it Bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younggunjoyce Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for all the info guys, managed to find one on here from another member, Bettinsoli as well at a reasonable price. I called a few gunsmiths before hand and one or two wanted more than what the guns worth to be honest, and I've already had the original pinned twice but as soon as I was putting cartridges through it would half Thanks again though guys great efforts all around!
