Similar case for the beavertails Ithaca provided on their Lefever Model 4 Vent Rib Double Trap offered from 1930 to 1934 and then the later Lefever A-Grades Model 5 & 6 offered from 1935 to 1939 --

I never cared for the look of them and have never owned one but since my accident I have wondered if it would fit my "new" hand and thumb position better.

My IJ SKEETER .410 with two sets of barrels and forends.

Dean, how long were the barrels on your .410 Skeeter?

Both were 26" Bill.

Thanks, that was a great gun.

Thanks to all for the pics and narratives.

I personally prefer a beaver tail on target guns and a splinter on hunting guns.

Like everything else in life, tastes change. There was a time when I wouldn’t give a second look for a beaver tail, vent rib gun. Now, that’s all I’m looking for.

As a rule me too but on 20 and 28 gauge guns I much prefer a beavertail.
