I am looking for a forend for a higher grade Meriden I am refinishing right now. It came with beautiful wood and a lovely cracked wrist on the stock that I have repaired. The forend was not original, I need a forearm from a later Meriden that has the latch system. The early Meriden/Aubrey guns were just a snap on design. If you have the right forend I would buy it from you. I have bought a few "junker" Meriden guns just for parts. I found the firing pins in particular break. And, of course the stocks broke on 80% of these guns for some reason.
Also, the Meriden I have has Chain Damascus barrels and they are something to behold - I am getting set up to try and refinish my own Damascus barrels, we shall see how that goes....I have the double gun journal articles - gonna give it a go, wish me luck
