The short answer is no. Of course you can have a custom beavertail made to fit.
Here's a better solution: https://connecticutshotgun.co/weight...er-handguards/ |

Ok thanks for the info. I’ve ordered the handguard from Conn Shotguns.

One last question. Are you aware of anyone who is qualified to custom fabricate and fit a beaver tail forearm in this scenario?

I think there are at least a couple of qualified Smith's on board here that could handle this procedure.

It would likely be cost prohibitive to do it properly. To do it improperly you risk pulling the forend loop (or lug) off of the barrels.

Contact Brian Dudley. He is on here frequently and I believe he can do it.

The cheapest/best alternative is to horse trade into a beaver tail FE gun. Or just learn to shoot the current gun with the splinter.
Most of my field guns wear the splinter. Unless you're shooting driven, or doves in South America the splinter works just fine. |

Hold the barrels and lay the wood of the splinter forend in your palm. That is how a splinter forend was intended to be used.
If you must fit a beavertail, be aware it may cause damage to the forend loop and lower rib due to the increased stress. It has to be done properly. |
