IAC 97 wood replacement

[Rootin Tootin]

will the replacement wood for an original 1897, from Sile, fit the IAC 97??

 

Thanks..........RT

Forearms have a couple of configurations (three screw holes being one) and will be a problem unless you are really good at knowing your 97s. Your IAC does not use the three-screw type of forearm.

 

Buttstock - most likely will fit.

 

BUT - current production 97 clone wood is available from Coyote Cap. coyotecap.com

I'd go that way, and get really nice walnut already finished, and no chance of a forearm disaster.

 

Good luck, GJ

RT,

I have an original fore end from an E series 97 on the Merchant Corner.

The sile should fit. I installed one on a 09 IAC. Some may require a rat tail file to open the inlet hole for the receiver shank.

All parts for the IAC '97's are available from Coyote Cap
