In the 1922, 1927 and 1930 catalogs it is called the "Trap Model Fore-end" and is listed as "12-Gauge only."

From the catalog pictures it appears Remington offered a more Model 21 --

beavertail fore-end --

For their Parker Double Trap Gun, it appears Remington slightly relieved the rear corners of the Parker Bros. Trap Model Fore-end.

And yet I have a 1930 DHE 20 that letters with a "Trap Modified Fore-end". It's actually in one of the earlier photos in this thread.

You probably just had to request it and pony up.

I have never seen a piece of A.H. Fox Gun Co. paper - catalog, retail price list, wholesale price list or jobber's price list - that offers a beavertail forearm, but a few such guns exist that the production cards support. So, I'm sure that if a Parker Bros. customer wanted something within the realm of possibility, the Brothers would build it.

Was that the one you sent me the letter on that supposedly went to the PI originally ?
