Even though the serial number was only about 200 higher than my gun, I still had a lot of fitting to do on the tip and also the stock. I couldn't believe how much I had to work the new stock and tip to get them to fit properly. It took me a day to do working with scrapers and other tools. In my opinion, the Trojan was the finest field grade gun ever built in this country. Sorry to Kevin McCormack and other Fox lovers, but that is my opinion.

Yes we do.

I owned a beautiful high condition Sterlingworth twenty with ejectors. I liked how it looked…
I own a Trojan twenty that has little condition but I love the way it handles and shoots.
