| The newest design out there. Sleeker and stronger than the traditional stamped and bent aluminum style. Stainless steel rod assures long life. |

| Product Availability | |
|
| The Shocktech Beaver Tail is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Strengths: |
looks and feels solid |
|
| Weaknesses: |
quality of work! I had to file it in order to make it line up with my cocking rod. Come on shochtech, start giving us what we pay for! |
|
| Conclusion: |
after hand fitting, it does its job. I give it a 10 for function, and 1 for the crappy workmanship.(I use the round one) |

| Strengths: |
I had a chrome style #2 but I sold it. I like the set screw that prevents the beavertail from moving from side to side.
The style is fairly progressive. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I got the chrome one and the finish on it was not good. The very end of it wasn't polished before the chrome was put on. I want my parts to be first rate in appearance and this beavertail was sub-par.
Why can't shocktech produce a cosmetically pleasing beavertail. Both my dad and I had them. Dad kept his and I bought an el-cheapo on ebay that looks much better! Details are important and shocktech missed some here.
I'm not down on shocktech. I got a supafly bolt and I love it. This review is as honest as I can make it.
Don't but this beavertail because it looks like crap. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For $25 a person can find a better beavertail. The beavertails apprearance is not good. The set screw that keeps the beavertail from turning is a nice feature. |

|
| Strengths: |
It looks really nice, and the fact that it turns makes it a heck of a lot easier to adjust the velocity than fishing your tool through the Beavertail. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Truely, it looks nice but it most definitely is not a necessity, don't get it unless you don't have anything else on your gun to upgrade, it doesn't improve performance or anything it just makes it look better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It looks nice, that's about it |

|
| Review: |
I don't know why I spent money on this thing. It's just a poorly made and designed beavertail. When I'd have to adjust my velocity I'd have to remove the tail cuz it'd block the cocking rod. Granted, the concept of removing that rod EVERY time I had to change velo was annoying but this thing just added the cherry on top.
The finish on mine looked like crap and it definitly didn't run with the lines of my freeflow body.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't buy this tail. It's not cool looking and for the money you can get something much better |

| Review: |
I have the chrome style #2. The beaver tail is a nice addition to finish of a n Autococker. It looks very nice and is functional. The chrome finish is well done and the construction is strong and durable with no bending. The edges are a little sharp however and that could be improved. It came with my marker so price wasn't an issue for me. A nice beaver tail that would go well with any autococker. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this product. |

| Review: |
this is a great beaver tail. i like the ring tail better than the angled tail b/c you won't worry about the tail scratching your lens. this is a strong beaver tail and is very nice in chrome.
at first it looked like the ring would come loose from the tail b/c it's just screwed in but it's actually really tight straight out of the box. |
|
| Conclusion: |
looks like a weak beaver tail but is actually very tight and strong once installed. i got it for only $19. |

| Strengths: |
Very Strong
Good Finish
Set screw to keep it straight
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
Finish on the back where the rod inserts into the circle could be a bit cleaner. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have style number 1. It is very strong compare to how easy it is to mange those damn aluminum stock BT. Idea is great with the set screw. To keep it from tilting when you screw it it, I just tap a tiny indent where the set screw would hit and it keeps it nice and straight both from the tilting and left and right which is what i didn't like about the KAPP's BT. But it's a beaver tail, and other than for looks, it doesn't do anything. Leave it to Shocktech to build a better mousetrap. |

|
| Review: |
The thing that I really like about this beavertail over others is the ability to turn it so its facing the downward position when you want it to, this allows you to remove the cocking rod with little effort. Other beavertails that would not move such as the stock would make it rather difficult, you would need to use an allen wrench, or the tips of your fingers, this product just makes it more convenient. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great accessory for any autococker, I would deffinatly buy another if I ever got another autococker. Well worth the money for what it does. |
