A firearm of the break-open and take-down type has a frame, at least one barrel releasably mounted on the frame, and a fore end assembly releasably secured to the underside of the barrel. The fore end assembly comprises a wooden fore end stock having a channel-shaped transverse cross-section, a metal latch plate removably secured to the bottom wall of the fore end stock, and latch means mounted on the latch plate for releasably securing the fore end assembly to the underside of the barrel. The latch plate has a downwardly extending latch mechanism portion and the inner surface of the bottom wall of the fore end stock is formed with a longitudinally disposed latch plate receiving opening in which the latch mechanism portion of the latch plate is snugly received. The forward facing rearward end wall of the latch plate receiving opening and the abutting rearward facing rearward end wall of the latch mechanism portion of the latch plate are substantially planar and extend vertically the full depth of the bottom wall of the fore end stock and are disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the firearm.
