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.
