Jack, all I know about the .410’s and beavertails is that they didn’t have the reinforcing screw. Regarding the reinforced one-piece forend lug on .410’s, as far as I know is that the one-piece lug was eventually adopted for A grade Parker doubles regardless of whether the gun had a beavertail or not… so the early ones would not have it but the late ones did (?) (did Remington incorporate the one-piece on all doubles?).
