I don't consider a few hundred dollars for a 20 ga. Trojan "bad money". I will have the barrels rust blued because it looks closer to the original, and to cover those few spots near the muzzles. I will have the thicker pad installed to increase the length of pull for a better fit. I purchased the gun as an upland shooter, a piece of functioning Parker history, rather than a collector's piece. As long as I stay under $1k for everything, to me it seems very reasonable for a gun I will keep and use often.
