| Strengths: |
Looks. Does its job, just like anyother beavertail. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
See Body. |
|
| Review: |
Weaknesses: Set screw puts marks on the body, but you can't see it, so it doesn't matter that much.
Also, one more note. I scratched up the beaver tail, because I didn't put the set screw on, and the back-block messed it up. Just a little advice if you get this. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great product, does its job nicely. |

| Strengths: |
Very attractive.
Gets the job done.
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
The setscrew seems to be scratching the body a little.
A few sharp edges. |
|
| Review: |
I got this apparently free of charge along with my 'cocker, and I like it a lot. It looks great, matches the body and all the rest, and still gets the job done. The only drawbacks are that it's got some sharp edges (not a big deal at all) and that the setscrew seems to be scratching the underside of the body a bit (which is also not a big deal, its purpose is more useful). |
|
| Conclusion: |
I don't know what more I can say about a beavertail. I don't know about the cost, because I got it for free. All in all, I like it. The slight weaknesses don't matter much at all, I don't think they're worth subtracting a point. Great product. I think it's great. |

| Strengths: |

Sharp edges around spyhole. |
|
| Review: |
Compared to the stock beavertail there is no comparison. The stock one is made of metal folded at a 90 degrees angle. The Dye beavertail is milled out of a piece of metal. It is pretty thick so it won't resonate like a tuning fork when the back block slams the back of the marker. There is a main screw to fit it in place and a smaller setscrew that you tighten once the beavertail is aligned.
The edges around the spyhole are pretty sharp but no blood has been spilled yet. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this beavertail mostly for its looks. What is a beavertail anyways... just something in the way between your backblock and mask. I give it a 9 instead of a 10 only because the edges around the spyhole should have been polished. |

|
| Strengths: |
It provides a sleek design, that will compliment any type of autococker. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Overall, it is a bit too thick. The lockdown screws loosen up after extended usage. |
|
| Review: |
Overall,...I would have to say that this is a decent product. It is Functional, as well as fashionable. The aesthetic appeal compliments the sleek design. I have to give it a STRONG 9 out of 10. I like the design, but it's just too big (where it connects to the marker). The screws DO NOT compensate for this at all. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would have to say that this is a decent product. If they (Dye) milled it down a little bit, it would greatly reduce the "Bulky" part that attaches to your marker. |

| Review: |
This did not align with my grip frame, because it only aligns with dyes. However, when I had unscrewed my grip frame to make room for this, it was very sturdy, with 2 screw holes. It looked great, and aligned well with my cocking rod. This is a great product, and I will rate it as it has fit my gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Go get it if you have a dye frame |

| Review: |
I bought this beavertail for two reasons. The first being that it looks so damn cool! It's probably the best looking beavertail on the market right now (if you can find one too, I'm not sure if Dye even manufactures them anymore.) The second reason is because I own a Dye swing frame, and all other beavertails are cut flat on the end that screws into your gun. This isn't that big of a problem until you nudge your beavertail wrong, then it sets all screwed up on your gun. So you have to tighten the @#$ out of the thing in order to keep it from moving around to much. But with this beavertail, it is meant to be matched up with a dye trigger frame. So no more fishtailing beavertails for me.
I also really wish there was a chrome color variation, but the flat aluminum isn't to bad looking.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall for the price I found it for, it was well worth the money. Especially if you own a dye trigger frame. If you own a different trigger frame though, this one might not fit unless you want to do a little modification. Other then that, it's a great looking part, that serves it's prupose. |

| Review: |
I ordered this product from a website amd when I got it, it didn't fit my gun because it was made for Dye triggers. So I had to cut 1/4in. off of it. Other than that, it's just a nice looking beavertail and does what it's suppose to do. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recomend this to anyone who has the right trigger or has a machine that can cut through metal. |
