Russell Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Any idea where I can get a replacement fore end for my FIAS ? It looks exactly the same as the Browning Medallist. I only really need the wood as mine has developed a small split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell - I would use Apxoy ( two part glue) it setts like rock Regards gray24b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've put some glue on it now & it all seems solid enough, but I was hoping to px this gun for a browning 525, but it was the gunshop that noticed the crack in the first place - its only a hairline crack less than an inch long where one of the screws go into it, but because of this they didn't want to take it in a part ex , so thought I'd see if I could find one cheap enough anywhere. It's not worth a load of money, so maybe I'll end up keeping it as a spare ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I wish gun shops were as alert when they sell. I was sold a Browning B125 FI with a crack in the forend. Cost a lot of money and it was there when they bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, now thats strange, I have a fias o/u and it has a fine split on the fore end, weird or what? :blink: D2D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 No longer got the gun now :blink: :blink: , but it seems to be a fairly common fault on the FIAS & the Medallist - it's the first place any gun dealer looks at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
