I found later a Parker catalog that stated Trojans could have barrels custom ordered as to length.
What catalog is that? From what I have, in the early years the barrel choices on the Trojan were 12-gauge 28- or 30-inch, 16- and 20-gauges 28-inch --

By the 1923 catalog the choice of 26-inch barrels had been added to all three gauges. Though Remington added the extra cost options of a single selective trigger and a recoil pad, the stock dimensions and barrel length offerings remain very limited through the Trojans last appearance in Remington price lists --

Trojan Grade, May 17, 1937.jpeg

"Standard" borings were 30-inch full & full, while the 26- & 28-inch were modified & full. The catalogs state "Barrels will be bored as above unless otherwise ordered." Also, a line like "Positively no deviation will be made from above specifications."

With regards to the language in the PB catalogs of, "Positively no deviation will be made from above specifications", at some point they must have relaxed a little on that as TPS shows us there were at least 8 Trojan 12 gauge guns with barrels exceeding 30". How about a 36" Trojan 12 or a 30" 28 gauge ? I could live with either of those.

Oh Lord, I have given you something else to search for. I thought you already had the 30" market cornered for the little 28's
