would help to know the guns manufacturing date
as over the years slightly different styles of wood and sometimes different irons were used.

for instance in early 50's the ringed forends are common , by the end of 50s they were beaver tails

new old stock could mean from any number of generations .
all generations of irons will work on the gun ,
but you have to match the iron and wood part

Have a similar issue this side of the pond. A friend wants a corncob/ringed forend for his late ‘81 37. He has the 3rd generation (General Recreation ownership of IGC) forearm iron with flat rear stop and squared nut. Both ends of this iron are hidden when the wood is fitted.This is also longer as above. My plan for the new year is to turn an oversized slightly damaged and un-usable Savage/Stevens wood part into a marginally longer 37 corncob and finish with the Savage rounded and blued nut which has the same thread. Hope to get a decent, proportionally accurate piece eventually.
