When doing a forend conversion it is critical that I have the correct demensions of your barrel. Different barrel contours require different demensioned hanger bars to make the forend sit flat on the barrel. I will need to know the barrel length, who manufactured the barrel, the contour (sporter, varmit, full bull, etc.), and the exact muzzle diameter on tapered barrels. I have fitting barrels here for most all common barrel contours and if it fits my fitting barrel there normally isn't any problem with it correctly fitting your barrel. If you prefer to send your barrel in for installation and fitting please feel free to do so. I can then make 100% certain everything fits correctly and that the barrel is floating before I send it back. If you barrel is a "custom" contour of some sort I will definately need the barrel here in the shop for fitting. Hanger bar conversions are available for factory Encore and Contender rifle barrel forends and just about any other custom made forend can be converted so long as it is thick and long enough to accomodate the hanger bar. Handgun barrel forends are too short and thin to allow the hanger bar to be installed. You must use a rifle or custom made forend even on pistol barrels for the hanger bar system to be utilized. The hanger bar system is not applicable to Muzzle loader or shotgun barrels and is not not compatible with Pachmyr forends. One converted forend will function on any barrel equipped with the proper hanger bar for that barrel contour and as long as the contour of the barrel will fit in it. You don't need a forend for every barrel you have. The $69.00 cost is for the conversion process only on your supplied forend. Hanger bars are sold seperately. See "Hanger Bar" tab in products section. I can supply the forend for you and do the conversion prior to shipping if you prefer. See the "Factory Forends" section under the "Products" tab for pricing. Note: Turn around time varies depending on my work load. Please check with me for the current anticipated turn around time |
