Parker Bros. realized they were losing market share to the Fox Sterlingworth and needed to come up with an inexpensive competitor so the Trojan was born. Even so, Parker Bros., not to jump too hastily into anything, took a couple of years to begin production on the Trojan.

Tom, Flanigan, I agree with all the points you made above. I've owned a sterlingworth and parker trojan. The Trojan in my opinion is by far the better gun and of all my Parkers it's my favorite to take into the field.

Brian,
So in theory, should a set of 16 gauge Trojan Barrels that I remove the rib extension from fit onto a 16 gauge later Trojan without the rib extension cut into the frame with the usual fitting required, which may or may not work? I hate to cut the extension off the orphaned barrels only to find that there is a difference in earlier and later guns. |

I would love to fit a set of extra barrels to a pigeon gun (with no extension rib) but cutting the dolls head off a set of barrels involves hoping for the best on the final fit.

If it does, have you ever posted pictures of the internals? Would love to see how they did it. |

I would direct you to my summer 2013 DGJ article on the topic for all of the details.
Those changes were never put into production. Only two guns have it. The one I own and the one in the Remington Museum.
