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 .

Easy bud ! Never question the boss’s PC activities :whistle:

Since this is in the "Other Fine Doubles" section I'll add this CSMC 28 GA Special.

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.

LC Smith Specialty grade 20ga Skeet forend. Hard to find and I liked it alot.

How about this Ithaca beavertail pictured in Clyde Baker's Modern Gunsmithing --

I have an Iver Johnson double trap with a beavertail that looks a lot like the Trojan pictured earlier. However, since it came from the factory like that, I will leave it as is. In my opinion, the nicest beavertails are Parker 28 and .410 skeet guns, .410 Skeeters, 28 gauge Parker Repros, and 20 gauge Model 21s. I have seen nice 12 gauge beavertails, but none that came from the factory.

Variety of BTFE's
 

In the order as posted:
1 & 2 L to R are Parker G, B, and V grades, all 12 ga.
3 & 4 L to R are Parker D and G grades, both 20's.
5 & 6 L to R are Parker A1S Washburn Upgrade and B grades, 12 ga.
7 & 8 Rem era Parker DH 16 gauge.
9 & 10 are Winchester 21's, 12 & 20 gauges.
11 & 12 are Ithaca SBT and NID's, 12 and 20 gauges.
13 & 14 L to R are LC Smith, 2 Specialties and a Crown, all 20's.

Hopefully I got all that correctly listed. I really have no preference to BTFE vs SFE when it comes to shooting and really do not notice much if any difference. The BTFE is nice in hot weather in a 5 stand or trap situation but gloves can fix that. I do favor the appearance of the SFE. The short stubby Ithaca NID BTFE has always appealed to me for some reason, I am probably the odd man out on that one.

28 gauge Parker factory beavertails look and feel just right to me. Bobby

Those Ithaca NID beavertails Randy shows are the early style they produced from 1926 to about 1934. By 1935 Ithaca introduced a much nicer looking, to my eyes, beavertail, more Winchester Model 21-like. Here are my No. 4E beavertails from a 1933 20-gauge and a 1936 12-gauge --
