Yes the only one I have ever seen was exhibited a number of years ago by Tom Wyraz (Fox River Sporting) at Ernie Hausmann's. It was a true trap configuration and had the vent rib and I believe a Monte Carlo stock. As Jim says the forend was significantly larger than a Parker trap BTFE, but somehow the sculpting along the sides and the nose of the Schnable forend on the Fox gave a much more elegant and streamlined air to the lines of the gun, less "clubby" than the Parker BTFE design.
