I found later a Parker catalog that stated Trojans could have barrels custom ordered as to length.
What catalog is that? From what I have, in the early years the barrel choices on the Trojan were 12-gauge 28- or 30-inch, 16- and 20-gauges 28-inch --

By the 1923 catalog the choice of 26-inch barrels had been added to all three gauges. Though Remington added the extra cost options of a single selective trigger and a recoil pad, the stock dimensions and barrel length offerings remain very limited through the Trojans last appearance in Remington price lists --

"Standard" borings were 30-inch full & full, while the 26- & 28-inch were modified & full. The catalogs state "Barrels will be bored as above unless otherwise ordered." Also, a line like "Positively no deviation will be made from above specifications."
