Carbine forend has two screws but different spacing from super 14 which also has two screws.
Ten inch barrel forends have one screw and of course the octagon barrel forend won't fit on a bull barrel for obvious reasons even though the screw is in the right place. Same with different contour carbine forends (bull vs. tapered barrel).
What I didn't know until lately is that the ten inch 45/410 vented rib barrel I recently purchased takes yet another forend that has a single screw but in a slightly different location. Luckily I already had one. Just goes to show that even if you've messed with Contenders for near 25 years like I have, there are still surprises.

Edited the above; I was trying to put an octagon forend on that 45/410 (DOH!!). The hole in the octagon forend
is in a different place though which I hadn't realized before. I stand by my statement that there is always more to learn about these thngs.
