Here are a few pics of a rifle of mine you may like to see.
It is a 1908 DOM short rifle takedown in .30WCF with a 20 inch extra light barrel. It is a real delight to carry in the woods. Also has a three leaf express sight. Shown with a standard sporting rifle to illustrate the 8 3/8 inch forend.

Was the forearm relieved to free float the barrel?

Love the looks of a short rifle, and given my love of TD rifle, really like the combination of both. That is a nice rifle Mike. Don’t see too many ELW short rifles with 20" barrels. I have three with 22" barrels – one a standard weight barrel, the other two ELWs – but, do not have a 20" gun yet. Thanks for sharing.

No, the forearm hasn’t been touched. Are you referring to the gap towards the muzzle? I assume it is because the barrel is a lightweight and has a rapid taper(the muzzle is smaller in diameter than the end of the magazine tube).

I think he is referring to the fourth picture that gives the impression that there is a gap between the forearm wood and the barrel. It does look like it is floated, but maybe just an optical illusion.

I think we are talking about the same thing. By gap towards the muzzle I meant the increasing space between the barrel and the forend wood towards the muzzle. The forearm is all old wood inside I think the small gap is due to the rapid taper barrel, Like I said before.
