20 ga. help

[Chuck Loveless]

I'm looking at possibly buying a 20 ga Parker serial number 166452. Any info would be greatly appreciated. The gun just doesn't look correct to me with my limited knowledge.

Sadly not in the serial number book.

Originality and condition is everything

20ga. Trojan with 28" Trojan steel barrels and a pistol grip.

[Chuck Loveless]

This gun has a Butt plate that is from another gun (FN) with sharp (different) checkering on the stock and forearm and a Parker cap on the pistol grip. The barrels don't look like my Parkers with the front sight set back more than an original, rib has vague scratching on it and the rib has two different mattings. Forearm iron doesn't fit as tightly as I would expect Sorry I can't get pics to show what I'm describing. Thanks as always for any info.

[Chuck Loveless]

Very Sorry I wasn't thinking. This is on Gunbroker, item 1099483907 if you're interested in checking it out.

Wow!! Someone put a lot of work into that old Trojan -- reprofiled the frame, mono-bloc'd the barrels, restocked, custom forearm and used a rib I suspect came from an L.C. Smith.

Buy? You might as well take your money & throw in a trash can! Barrel separation at the front looks excessive, no chokes given; may not have any choke or even shoot straight. Put your money to good use & buy a good gun.

Jesus David. Why don't you insult the poor guy.

[David C Porter]

No insult! Just telling it like it is & he is asking for help.

I already have a really nice original unmolested 20ga. I'm always looking and trying to learn. Thanks to all that replied
