Well Angel, there's your quail gun!

Angel Cruz 01-12-2012 08:22 PM

That's what I was thinking. I already order a flat of RST's 7-1/2 shot. I can't do anything this weekend since I have to take Nash to a dog show, but next weekend, is on!!

RESEARCH LETTER

Here you go Murph, not much to read. Too bad someone opened up the lt. bbl
to ImpMod.

The letter is quite interesting, in my opinion. A special order Trojan is a rare bird for one. Another point is that the great Captain couldn't talk the customer into a graded gun for just a few bucks more. It's a great Trojan variation that I would love to own.

Angel I wouldn't mess with the chokes at all. Shoot spreaders to open the pattern or let get out a little farther.

Nice find congrats.

Thanks Richrd. I found out this weekend what happens if the bird is too close. Poor thing decintegrated.
Murph, that's one thing I found interesting. Capt. du Bray selling a lowly Trojan. I guess in 1917 a sale is a sale.

You would have to ask Mark if this order was part of a larger group of guns. Some orders for Trojans are twenty to fifty guns.

According to the order book this was part of a three gun order. Two 20ga and a 16ga.

A special order 30" Trojan 20. Falls into the never say never catagory I think. Thanks for sharing that letter with us Angel, congrats on a cool gun.

Another great long barrel, tight choked, smallbore for those great old Central Valley duck clubs!!
