Love all the comments, learned a few things new to me. So thanks for all the input.

I shot 4 rds of trap with the Trojan yesterday, using herters low recoil 1060 fps target loads. I am not the best trap shooter in the world, but it's managing to bust 20+ birds per round, which is about par for me. I am getting better at shooting this gun, and can't wait to have some pheasant or ducks in front of it. Still not shooting it as well as my Citori's, but it's getting better. Seems like it hits just a tad lower than my Citoris.... But that's just the way it feels. They used to have a patterning board at that gun club, but they no longer do... I'll have to go out to the other gun club to pattern it, and that's a bit longer drive for me.

I just find it interesting that my Ithaca made guns are exact to the gauge, and some of my other guns are not. Never realized that the choke was relative to the bore, I just thought a full choke was a specific diameter..... The right barrel is definitely a bit more open, so I assume it's M, and the other F. Unless someone actually did take a F/F gun and make it IM/F. Either way, it's fun to shoot, and it should do nicely on pheasants.
