Sorry for the visual rant.

Or a 6lb 12 oz 28" 12 gauge. Full/Mod


I always wondered what a straight stock Trojan would look like Sorry couldn't help myself.

Clever marketing. Nothing more. Buy the gun, not the ad campaign.

It is too bad Parker did not make a dedicated magnum gun like the HE Super Fox or LC Smith Long Range. I understand they had some souped up 12's and 10's, but it is too bad they did not have a dedicated grade

The straight stocked 16 at 6 pounds is the lightest and liveliest of my modest cabinet. I've enjoyed carrying it for Quail and not too hard on the eyes.

Parker Bros. was not a fan of magnum cartridges or heavy loads, they were right but Americans certainly bought into bigger is better. It took me a long time to discover lighter is stunningly effective.

I had a M21 a nice 20ga skeet gun. The operative was HAD. It's a nice gun but it's not a Parker.

Although proclaimed "strongest" American double, if its strength you want, then the Win model 24 is as strong as the 21 and at a fraction of the cost. If your want a tractor, buy a Deere, if you want a Cadillac, get a Parker JMHO

Now if you want the uglist American double buy a M24. They are really two Model 37s stuck together. Winchester should have it called the Model 74.
