Carbine Forearm Tangs
I'm looking at two carbine forearm tangs; they are quite different...
Should I ever come across one (or both) of these, exactly what are they indicative of??? Are there other types of carbine tangs??? Were these 'custom' conversions, with a variety of different tangs??? I've already see several different forends [wood]... Was there a master pattern??? More than one manufacturer/shop making them???

It may be just the image quality, but the second tang looks like a crude, homemade replacement for a lost or damaged original. Is it numbered to the gun in a similar font?

I went outside and it like a flush bolt maybe a kind of anchor. Its definitly and added anchor proboble due to the more powerful 9mm. Nice spoting!! A lot of attention to detail went into it. Even the stock is beautiful! Does anyone know the range of serial numbers or how many! If theres a particular aspect you wish to explore, Ill be glad to take some pics or maybe lend it to you some weekend! Just Kidding!
