There are several models that feature the Shnabel forend, the Eg being the easiest to find.
I'm far from an expert, but I'd consider myself an eager student

This is a rundown of the Pre-Mil 99's, EG's will be easiest to find and most reasonably priced. Be aware of any cracks in the tang and forends. cracks are common and can be managed and repaired if not too bad. Also look for aftermarket recoil pads, EG's should have a corrugated metal plate. The guys over on 24Hr are the experts!!
