This '27 Trojan has a weird comb repair if you look closely and has probably been re-stocked at some point, but it's one of my favorites. Wood ducks are so pretty and the dog, now long gone, was a good buddy. Just re-discovered this 20 year old picture.

In 1960 when I started hunting on my own license I began with a borrowed Trojan 12/28"
Those days are some of my very best memories Samuel!!

Nothing about a 16ga Trojan to be ashamed of!

16's rule in the North East. Classic Guage for grouse and woodcock.

There's nothing "lowly" about a 16 gauge Trojan!
Whoops... that's Dave Suponski's Trojan 20.
But then there's Jamie's 16.

Truth be told, a Trojan of any gauge (12, 16 or 20) is about the most practical gun anyone could own. It will break as many targets and bag as much game as any graded gun of any make.

I really like 16 ga. Just seems versatile to me. I grew up hunting with 20 ga. VH of my Dad’s (probably my favorite gun ever in my hands) and I don’t know which ga. I really prefer. I’ve never really needed a 12 for the type of hunting I’ve done.

I haven't gotten the hang of posting pictures, but I tried to post a picture of a pheasant taken in Ohio with my daughter and same Trojan 16 a long time ago. If the picture doesn't show up, I'll post it again.

My young daughter, now a mother, helped me bag this pheasant around 2004, again with the Trojan 16.
