With a field shotgun, the target is placed directly behind the bead. On a trap gun, the target is placed above the bead for better visibility. That is the main difference. Also, the comb is elevated on a trap gun and the stock and butt plate are sometimes adjustable on a trap gun. Trap guns are also heavier to reduce damage to the shoulder due to repeated firing. Trap guns sometimes have ported barrels to reduce jumping of the barrel. Any highly shotgun with a wooden stock and replacable barrels can probably be converted into a trap gun. Just buy a trap barrel and replace the barrel. You can also port the barrel or have the stock cut out to make it adjustable. Honestly, no modifications are needed to a field gun, as long as it is a decent gun. I shoot a field gun for trap and I do just fine.

Why buy a field shotgun vs a trap shotgun?
Trap shotguns are only used for trap shooting and should only be bought if you are really into trap shooting (or have too much money =] ). Field guns can be used for both field and trap applications. However, field and trap guns aim differently. Trap guns are easier to use for trap, and I'm not sure on the other way around. My advice is to by a field gun to use for both uses. That's what I did, and I get great trap scores. If I had an extra $2 or 3 thousand, I would by a trap gun because they work better for trap, but I don't =).
