Sorry. Imagine shooting at waterfowl, concealed in a squarish wooden "tub" below water-level among decoys, with only a few inches of freeboard. It was common on our offshore but only used in a few places now. Current tubs are made from plywood covered with fibreglass, weighted at the bottom. Scare you to look at them but never heard of a fatality. Deadly, migod, deadly. We could almost reach up and catch them by the legs.

I went to the shop I bought the first Trojan and purchased a second. I really like the guns. Again a twelve, 1927. The earlier one has 30 inch barrels while the later one has 28. The longer gun weighs a quarter pound less than the shorter gun and looking at the barrel weights stamped on the flats bears this out perfectly, the 28 (4,3), the 30 (3,14). I just test fired both guns with 2 inch Gamebore Super Game #6's and couldn't be more pleased.

Parker briefly made a Trojan Skeet gun
Remington made one, maybe two, experimental Parker Trojan skeet guns. One still at Remington. The Parker Skeet Gun was only offered to the public in VHE- to A1 Special-Grades.

It's been illegal in the US as long as I can remember, precisely because it's so effective.
