Is the stock and forearm wood interchangeable between 28, 20 and 16 ga model 12's?

    28, 20 and 16 are the same size frame. 12 is unique.

    The frame is the steel part that holds the other fire control metal parts and the barrel the wood parts are there so the shooter has something to hold on to

    There is a small and large frame. They look identical, but the small one is like a 7/8 scale of the large frame.

    Put a 12 ga receiver next to a 28/20/16 gauge receiver and they look the same, just different "size".

    In other words, wood will interchange among the 28, 20 and 16 gauge family, but the 12 is unique to itself.
