The wooden piece under the barrel of a breech-loaded shotgun is called the forend or forearm.

Looks like an 18" or 20" double barrel side by side 10 ga. shotgun called a coach gun because of its use by Wells Fargo agents riding shotgun on it's stagecoaches for protection.

Barrel makers are called coopers.
