Mike, If you want to keep your Trojan looking original I would recommend you buy a butt plate that at least looks authentic. Many reproduction butt plates you'll find available are made of hard plastic, the originals were made from hard rubber. Galazan sells two different Trojan reproduction butt plates made from hard rubber, the one you need for your 12-ga. is 5 5/32" long. It's your lucky day---Galazan has them on sale for $20 each, regularly $48.

Never say never Dave, Scott has a Trojan 12ga with factory 26" tubes (which I believe is pretty rare) and it is fitted with what appears to be an orginal Hawkins Pad from the factory. (I think he may sell it as he makes room for that beautiful BHE he recently bought). Mike the hard rubber butt plate is going to add about 1/4 inch to your LOP. If you are 13 3/4 to 13 7/8" from trigger to wood I doubt the gun was cut. |

Pete, I agree completely with "Never say never". Let me rephrase that last post...They were not cataloged with recoil pads....

Thanks to you all, I read and measured the dimensions of the butt plate and it appeared to be really close. I am hopeful the stock has not been cut. Was I correct in the assumption that when Parker advertised the length in their ad for Trojans they were measuring the LOP or said in layman's terms from the front trigger to the end of the stock in a straight line.

I received the butt plate from Galazan a few weeks ago, when it came it was too small and I expected they had either sent me the wrong butt plate or I punched the wrong button, I broke the rules (buttplates can't be returned) and returned the butt plate and they sent a new one back, it's too small as well, and doesn't meet the measurments as advertised, but appears to be the correct order #. Is there another option to order from as evidently the specs, which appear in their advertisements to be the correct size, are smaller than the actual.

Put a pad on it and be ever-watchful for an original buttplate.
