Trojan Model

[Lane Harvey]

I recently purchased a 1914 Trojan model, and I was wondering how to take it down. There isn't the usual release switch on the bottom of the forend.

[Rick Roemer]

Slide your finger between upper part of forend where it meets the barrels. Pull straight away from barrels. Can be tight. There is a plastic tool available for sliding in there to pry with, but finger pressure should do it.

[Dean Romig]

It has been my experience that if the forend is very tight you can break a chip of wood from the tip... I’ve done it.

I sell the tools Rick refers to.

Shoot me a PM and we’ll trade mailing addresses etc.

Yes Dean's tool is a great one to have. Works like a charm

[Kevin McCormack]

A blunt plastic letter opener or "bone folder" as used in leather working works great and in the same manner.

[Dean Romig]

Kevin is right but be careful which 'tool' you use. Some can mar the barrel blue or the underside of the forend wood.

For those interested I am posting this link from a few years ago. 2010 to be exact.

Today's price is $9.00 shipped.
