Hepburn Forearm.

I haven't received my Hepburn book yet, which would probably answer my question but need to ask you Hepburn experts. Did the plain sporting rifle ever have a forearm that looked something like the High Wall with an ebony tip insert? Thanks. Dale.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Yes, later Hepburns deleted the steel forearm tip and got a horn inlay instead. Some PG models also had a horn V shaped inlay in the grip too.

Late Hepburns can also have a steel butt plate like the Remington model 30 bolt gun.

Thanks Joe. Can't wait to get my book and I don't even own a Hepburn. Not yet anyhow. Dale.
