I have an Iver Johnson double trap with a beavertail that looks a lot like the Trojan pictured earlier. However, since it came from the factory like that, I will leave it as is. In my opinion, the nicest beavertails are Parker 28 and .410 skeet guns, .410 Skeeters, 28 gauge Parker Repros, and 20 gauge Model 21s. I have seen nice 12 gauge beavertails, but none that came from the factory.

Hopefully I got all that correctly listed. I really have no preference to BTFE vs SFE when it comes to shooting and really do not notice much if any difference. The BTFE is nice in hot weather in a 5 stand or trap situation but gloves can fix that. I do favor the appearance of the SFE. The short stubby Ithaca NID BTFE has always appealed to me for some reason, I am probably the odd man out on that one.

Craig, those and the one on Stan's gun look nice. I imagine I could live with those . Actually the forends on my Utica Foxes (which a lot of guys seem to hate) are almost slim beavertails, and I rather like them.

Phil I was kinda against BT’s and single triggers until I started shooting that VHE trap in the pigeon ring . After that my outlook changed a good bit .

Pictured is a Hunter Arms 410 with a beavertail forend. The forend is very comfortable when shooting such a small gun. I also feel it compliments the look of the gun.

Those Ithaca NID beavertails Randy shows are the early style they produced from 1926 to about 1934. By 1935 Ithaca introduced a much nicer looking, to my eyes, beavertail, more Winchester Model 21-like. Here are my No. 4E beavertails from a 1933 20-gauge and a 1936 12-gauge --
