Default Splinter / Beavertail

For what it's worth, I am just a guy with a camo cap. I am NOT a gunsmith or a Parker Reproduction expert. Years back I bought a 12 gauge Parker magnum that I use for waterfowl. It came with a splinter forend. For fit reasons I prefer a beavertail forend.
I managed to find an inletted blank BTFE and I fitted the splinter hardware into the new beavertail blank. With a little checkering and finishing it works just fine.
I am sure that someone who has worked with forend conversions more can give you much better advice, but the conversion can be done.
Just an FYI....
