I returned to the gun shop today to take a closer look at this 16 ga Trojan and make my buy or no buy decision. Based on my choke and chamber gauge, it's choked mod and full not full and full as the shop has it listed. Chambers are 2 1/2 inches not 2 3/4 inches as posted. There is a rectangular sight that the previous owner had installed close to the breech end and affixed to the top rib with 2 screws on either side of the rib. I had them back out one of the screws hoping that the previous owner did not drill holes on each side the of the rib for these screws. Wrong. Whomever installed this sight, drilled and threaded holes on each side of the rib. That for me broke the camels back. Although, the wood on the gun was perfect except for normal wear, the gun is tight on face, barrels ring well, etc. no dents, chips etc. I was not planning on putting any more money in the gun to lengthen the chambers and fix the screw holes on the rib, so I have decided to pass on it, but someone else might want to pursue it. The cash price quoted to me today was $775 vs the listed price of $850 so They do want to sell it. I don't want to break any rules here so if anyone wants more details/contact info, pm me. Thanks to all who have commented on this thread.
