Could you give us a run down on what it is made up from?
Is it an alloy chassis?

Hand rest. Extended fore end used in the standing or kneeling position. I think the term came from the field target air rifle crowd.bradaz11 wrote:Hamster?

Correct.. Also handy for Mrs Hrun who has short arms and can't hold the forend up for long :-)

I've heard the hamster term in the airgun world but never understood the link. 
Maybe someone used a hamster as a rest and got wicked groupings!

Not sure about the name, but I suspect the originals were more palm shaped, like a computer mouse and hence nicknamed hamsters.
They are popular in our club as they enable a level gun whilst keeping your elbow tight against your body, giving as stable a platform as possible.

Here is my Gen 2 S&W M&P 15/22, it’s MOE in FDE dark earth, I’ve added a crowned barrel shroud and aluminium charging handle from Tacticool 22.
Lovely rifle and great to shoot.

Hi Guys
My mossberg 42mb. but of a poor exterior but mostly in good shape internally.

Had hoped Saddler would be able to help out with parts be hes not been on for a while and my comms with him ended when he went on holiday.
Hope the chaps ok
Anyone else any idea on potential parts in UK.

I’ll let Jon know you’re looking to get in touch. I’m sure he still has the Mossberg stuff...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
