Trojan stock cast and drop
 
Hey all, first time poster here. I have a very nice Trojan 12ga with 30” barrels that fits me like a glove. When I look down the barrel to the toe of the stock, it appears there is no cast at all to the stock. Is this how all Trojans came? I understand most of the other models have more custom dimensions but did they make Trojan stocks neutral do to them being marketed more towards big stores? As a left handed shooter it’s hard to find a Sxs that fits well but this gun fits me spectacularly.

I have found most Parkers have neutral cast.

That’s good news, this Trojan is natural for me to shoot. It’s in pretty good shape too with most of its original bluing and stock finish, nice crisp checkering and even a good amount of case colors remaining. It looks to have been fired very little.

True John - the Trojans were a very basic field gun. For the most part they were shipped to retailers who simply put them in the racks to be sold. Very very few were ever ordered with specific deviations from the 'standard' Trojan specs.

The TROJAN was only made to fixed standard specifications. If a factory TROJAN stock ever exhibits cast, it warped after manufacture.

Thanks for the great info! Mine appears to be modified and full, it is a 1926 model. I bought 10# of #3 bismuth to load up for waterfowl this season. I’m planning on using it in this Parker and my favorite 1926 Remington model 11.
