This set of 28 inch Trojan barrels was so bad on the outside that my gunsmith did not want to re-do . He rechoked it to skt 1 skt 2 and it shoots great. The bores and thickness were fine but the outside looked like it had been stored in a saltwater marsh. I bought the barrel and foreend on Ebay for I believe less that $90.00 and had the barrels fitted to my 30" Trojan. The foreend shows a lot of wear. The older barrels with ext. were fitted to a 1929 gun without ext. and my gunsmith fitted them without a hitch. He just ground off the extension and did what he normally does.

Kurt The 28 weighs in right at 6 lb. even, it is an O Frame gun, and the unfinished Barrel weight on my 10 Ga. Hammer gun is 6 lb. ! And the gun itself ,if my memory is correct is right around 11 lb.,makes for quite a day carrying the old girl loaded ,hammers cocked and barrels open ,through chest high soaking wet switch grass for pheasants !! That is what I did on our Pa. pheasant opener ,it rained in sheets all day ,but I was determined to get a bird or two with that gun ! Buddy My butt was whipped by the afternoon , I came in and told my wife and daughter at dinner that evening ,those old timers sure were alot tougher guys than what I am !

There are two pictures already posted that I have not been able to make my mind up on which to vote for. I thought I would throw another one into the fray...an 1881 12 gauge Lifter with Twist barrels.
