Hey Guys,
For what it is worth and I might be wrong, but that forearm doesn't look like a Schnable forearm to me.
The forearm screw is also incorrect. It has more of the charterstics of a model 81 forearm. I have a couple of this style forearm on the late model 8's that have the pistol grip that looks like the model 81 stock. The rifle certainly needs a home where it can mingle with its counterparts.
