FIG. 3 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side view of a second embodiment of the checkered pattern on a forend of a gun shown in FIG. 2, the only difference being the angle at which the lines cross each other; and,

FIG. 6 is a right side view of a third embodiment of the checkered pattern on a forend of a gun shown in FIG. 2, the only difference being the angle at which the checkered pattern on a forend of a gun lines cross each other.

All broken lines in the above figures are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

The claimed boundaries for these embodiments are exactly the same as the claimed boundaries shown for the first embodiment in FIGS. 1-4.
