Serious question, I am curious. Was this the case with all gauges; was this the case through every year of production?
Brian I don't believe you could hurt a 2 frame 12ga Trojan unless you purposefully set out to hurt it. I have shot every manner of shell from reloads to factory, from 7/8 to 1 3/8 ounce loads, both lead and bismuth through my first Parker, a 1913 Trojan 12. I have shot it a lot (thousands of shells) over the last 27 years. It remains as tight as the day it was made.
