fitzy Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Hi, Bought an old Win 101 from wabbitbosher for rough shooting. Apart from a minor issue of a sticking safety it's been great. It is missing the mid rib bead. Not that I need it but would like to fit one for completeness. Anyone know what size it'd be and where to get one? Also like to source a spare forend as well. Thanks Edited November 28, 2016 by fitzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 If it's the same as fitted to a Browning 325 then I could use one as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 You can get a variety of beads from a well known auction site; I got one from there - but there are a few thread variations. I guessed and got lucky (a Merkel) - no idea what thread a Winchester would be, but guess anything non-metric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Try www.WnchesterOwners.com a US based site, sure they will have the answer, particularly thread size then you can order from anywhere online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Is it an original fitting? Otherwise is a screw in or knock in? I would have thought most gun shops would have kept a few in stock .I always did . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The Browning mid-bead is not threaded. It is simply a push fit. Never seen one on a Winchester 101, though I know only the 5500/6500 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
