First some info. When I bought this 88 it came with a 28" ribbed barrel. According to the serial number it was made around Dec. 2002. I'm looking at upgrading with a Phoenix Technology Kicklite Recoil Reduction stock. I thought about replacing the forearm but every picture I've seen doesn't show the forearm on mine. Mine is rather long and bulky and does have the Slide Action Tube Nut . I'd like to replace it with something shorter and less bulky and this is where I need some help to identify it AND any suggestions for a replacement. One problem I do have is that I haven't been able to figure out how to upload pictures here so if someone with the expertise in the Mav 88 could PM me with their email address I can email pictures to them. I'd appreciate any and all help. Thanks
