Red Ryder forearm on a 105?

Will this work? Looks like the barrel band would be the only thing holding it on.

The band would be the only thing holding it on, you're right. A bit of silicone could be used to hold it more securely, and it would still be removable as long as you didn't use too much.

I should have thought of an adhesive. Thanks.

I use a forearm from a Daisy model 400 on my 105B (the 400 is an oddball pellet gun Daisy made for a short time during the '70s), and it is held on with a little "E6000" (a tough flexible adhesive like Shoe Goo) and it has stayed put just fine. I used a short screw in the forearm screw hole to give it a finished appearance. The screw doesn't actually contact the gun, it just fills the hole. The gun is ugly as sin but it's a hammer- 520 fps using a piston, shot tube, and abutment from a 499B along with my HP spring.
