I believe Folsum may have funded building the trap butt mold. The guns were made in 10 and 12 gauge and primarily G grade with Damascus barrels. Other than the butt, there is absolutely no difference between a regular G and a trap G.
Bill's article is in the 2000 year's Volume 9, issue 3 issue of Parker Pages.
