Craig, those and the one on Stan's gun look nice. I imagine I could live with those . Actually the forends on my Utica Foxes (which a lot of guys seem to hate) are almost slim beavertails, and I rather like them.

Phil I was kinda against BT’s and single triggers until I started shooting that VHE trap in the pigeon ring . After that my outlook changed a good bit .

Pictured is a Hunter Arms 410 with a beavertail forend. The forend is very comfortable when shooting such a small gun. I also feel it compliments the look of the gun.
