Dead_Head Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I bought a Model 100 SKB/Ithaca SxS shotgun and want to buy (or trade the small forend for) a larger beavertail forend since I mostly shoot black powder loads and the barrel can get hot quickly. Question: What SKB models come with a beavertail forend that fits the Model 100 so I know what to look for? Model 150? Model 200? Are there any other SKB models that their forends fit the Model 100?

Caladisi kid Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I use a slip on cover like this if you have a thin/splinter style forearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better than a splinter forend, but not quite as good as a large beaver tail forend https://connecticutshotgun.co/trigger-guards-ribs/ https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/957662224?pid=687613&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=bing&utm_campaign=Shooting+-+Range+Accessories&utm_content=687613&cm_mmc=pf_ci_bing-_-Shooting+-+Range+Accessories-_-Galco-_-687613&msclkid=dcef757529b01efd4f0a17fd39f65654&utm_term=4584894776053434 https://www.galcogunleather.com/barrel-guard_8_12_1024.html and probably the same maker that CT Shotgun uses: https://www.jeffsoutfitters.com/product/leather-hand-guards-12-20-16-28ga-410/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Be aware that if you switch you will need the entire fore end, not just the wood. The fore end iron for the splinter and the beaver tail are completely different. The 100, 150 and 200 all came with splinter or beavertail and should interchange but may required some fitting by someone familiar with SKBs.

Waco Jim Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 New beavertail forearms are available from SKB. These are checkered and finished and they will fit to you gun if you send them the entire gun. As stated, you will need some new forearm iron parts as well. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Leadslinga Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I have 3 SKB's and they are all beaver tail's. One of them when purchased had the "English" stock and dear ol Goatneck when I sent it to him to be tricked up, put a beaver tail on it. I dont remember whether he had one laying around or we just did a trade or something, but I know some work was definitely needed for it to fit properly. I saw a post recently here where the lug under the barrels that the forend attaches to fell off and the gentleman used JB weld and it's held up for years. That happened to me twice and it was the same SG we added the beaver tail to. I would be reluctant to change the forend's out again. Just me. I would go with using a slip on or trying to find a beaver tail factory gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
