Mike, that’s how I feel here. I am generally very careful about what I purchase, always with ROI in mind. However, this is my upland gun which I intend to use much and pass on. Thus, I’m OK with spending a little here to get what I want.

Very good point about the bluing. I’m no expert, just guessing. I ordered a 1” Pachmyer English style pad. I will have installed and hunt with the gun this year. After the season, I will decide what to do with the barrels. At the very least, I will have them touched up near the muzzles.

What can you buy in a side by side for under $1000 that has anything like the quality or the feel of a Trojan 20? I still have my "original" 87 Bronco II on its second engine rebuild and third transmission and like to think we look good going down the street, old timer thought of course! And my Trojan 20 from 1916 still locks up like a vault but it handles like an A1 Special. So, enjoy that Trojan, it looks good to me.

That reminds me of the story about the old timer's axe: "I've had to put a new handle and a new head on 'er, but she's still a darned good axe!"

I had the opportunity to take the Trojan out for skeet this weekend. What a fun little gun. I normally don’t shoot a “whippy” gun well, particularly on skeet and prefer the big, heavy VH 12 on a #2 frame. But I really enjoyed the Trojan. I think I shot a 22 on second round. It should make a great little upland gun. Thanks for all of your comments! Joe

Why not try some cold blue before you send it off?
