The vent rib Trojan looked like a Dr. Frankenstein creation. Every piece of metal was roughly polished to prominent swirls and then blued unevenly. The butt stock looked like it was patterned after the Thompson / Center Encore with the high comb. But the vent rib was the masters touch. The posts appeared to have been ground down to about half of normal height and then welded to the factory rib in stack fashion. However the for end wood appeared to be original and had been finished with a lot of Tru oil to match the stock. You probably couldn't build a gun like that today for only $4750.
