Shooters have done very well with splinter forends for many years. Many prefer the splinter because it brings them closer to the barrels. You can create a semblance of a beavertail by applying cardboard and tape to the splinter forend. Or just go out a find a Parker with a beavertail or single trigger or whatever you want. Most Parker collectors seem to prefer the splinter and double triggers.
There were a bunch of wood only in inletted and rough form splinter and beavertail forends for sale in the silent auction at the PGCA meeting. You could have picked one up there, but I have in my possession several of them. I don't own them but I know the owner would be very pleased to sell them.
