Thanks Pete! Do you know what the next Trojan pictured below the Trojan Skeet is?

Wasn't the Trojan discontinued early in Remington's tenure

Sorry Dean I don't recall nor did I take a picture of the Trojan below. It was the Trojan Skeet gun that caught my attention and as you can see it is very hard to take pictures with the guns in glass cases.

The Trojan was available in the 1937 catalog. It says it is only available as a PG stock, rubber pad optional, SST available, no ejectors and no BTFE supplied. What does the TPS say about the end of it's production?

The Skeet gun was also featured in the 1937 catalog but it states in VHE and up for grades. No mention of a Trojan Skeet gun anywhere I can see.

The Trojan was discontinued in 1939 so I guess "early in Remington's tenure." is off by several years.

Does anyone know if the Trojan Skeet gun in the Remington museum has ejectors?

When the PGCA copied the Parker Brothers records at Remington Mark and a few others got to handle the Trojan skeet gun. Here is a very young Mark Conrad with it.Bill Murphy allowed me to photograph his album for posterity at this years Southern. Thank you Bill.

There are some very nice and rare guns in the Remington Museum, how about a fluid steel straight grip G grade 8 gauge!

I have heard or read that Remington borrowed some things for the Trojan from the Model 32 but where the 32 was a superposed design I don't think ejectors is one of the things that could be easily adapted to the Trojan.

I found an older post where Murphy says it has ejectors.

Dean,
I bought the gun on gunbroker in 2007. I don't have any more info other than it came from Ohio. I found another barrel in 28" and had Lou fit it when he was around on the website. It is set up for sporting clays and skeet.
