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 --

or late Ithaca NID style --

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.
