    Something for the obsessive MkII Service owner?

    Nowt to do with me...but see item 113732395777 on that popular site for an "ultra rare colley forend"...

    Dunno if it's what it's purported to be though.

    Never heard of or seen one before; looks like quite a good idea though.

    Yes, nice idea and looks to be well executed. But £250? He's trying it on...

    Google throws up this:

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Thanks for that Danny, saves me doing the same. As you say, £250 seems a tad ambitious.

    Front end looks worn through and top looks tatty too for that money.

    So judging by the adverts it might be actually for a shotgun and it happens to fit a MkII...

    I thought exactly the same a couple of months ago.

    I've seen some forends that do look very good but I'm not sure someone would pay this much.

    I'd never heard of that one before as in that 'helps' correct shooting (shotgun).

    They are normally used on shotguns to protect your hands from hot barrels and can still be bought new today and are made by various makers, obviously also for different calibers sbs only afaik.
