figgy Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 The schnabel forend is slim and has a sharp detail near the end that doesn't suit certain holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Not so keen on schabel myself, he didn't elaborate as to why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 as figgy said, i hold the forend with my finger resting along the side of the forend, it sits nice in a trap forend, and with a 682 gold e i had a while ago when i put my finger where i did it wasnt comfortable when it recoiled and kept banging the end of my finger, it may sound odd to others but it makes sense to me just like the big man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Makes perfect sense, all of our Berettas have the trap forends fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Not odd totally understand mate. I wonder if it is feasable to have the sticky out bit taken off, bit like a game gun splinter forend. ?? Just a thought but looking at my schnabel on the game gun reckon its doo able Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 well i was thinking a decent joiner could sand the lip down to make it in to a beavertail, but id still be missing the groove for my finger, could probably groove one in but then you risk messing it all up and waisting a good forend, and having to pay a joiner for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Much prefer trap fore ends to schnabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I do exactly the same but of course I am from trap background so got used to beavertail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 do some beavertail forends have the groove in them, just been looking at them and some do and some dont, all stock not just for the dt10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Beavertal and semi beavertail that's the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 emailed these people half hour ago, and they have just got back to me, said they should be able to match it pretty well,but there forends have a flat oil finish not a high gloss like mine. looks like it could be an expensive way forward, with shipping it would work out around £300, then having it re finished. think ill explore my other options first https://www.colegun.com/collections/beretta-dt10-dt11-wood-sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
