The barrels may be chopped but the keels are in place.

The wedge shaped keels are cut back . The adjoining barrels do not touch.

TPS is the best reference work for anybody seeking to learn about Parkers. Barrel ends are fully explained and pictured within.

I found later a Parker catalog that stated Trojans could have barrels custom ordered as to length. TPS verifies this. Those barrels look cut to me, however, but I do not have the expertise that others here do.

The unstruck barrel weight of 3-3 would be too heavy for a set of 20 gauge O frame 22" barrels in my opinion which would further support the fact that they have been cut. However your gun does have a Remington repair code on it. Maybe a prior owner wanted them cut back. Order a letter and maybe you will get lucky. We have seen some very strange things here over the years.

$50 says they were cut. If you like short barrels and the price is right, go for it.

Unfortunately there is nothing the PGCA has that will tell us what was done by Remington to a particular Parker that has a Remington service or repair code.

Have any of these "odd" barrel length Trojans surfaced?

There is no 30-inch 20-gauge Trojan shown in the Trojan Production Statistics table on page 246 of The Parker Story. Does it letter?
