Bill I have no idea what Tony's overhead is in his new facility or the hourly wages he pays his skilled employee’s or what his materials(walnut blanks, barrel tubes, frame steel, etc.) cost but being a manufacturer in one of if not the highest taxed state in the country I would think $1,500.00 would be a little low.;)

Particularly since his base grade RBL is $5000 and the base grade 21's and Foxes are each $15,000. There is some nice workmanship in a Trojan. I understand the RBL was designed so that it could be almost entirely machine made without hand fitting, not so the Trojan.

I think he might get a little busy making trojans if he could indeed make them for 1500.00.I think a 20 would finish my set.

There might be demand if there was something unique, such as the gauges Parker didn't make 10, 28, 410 etc. I'd be in the market if there was a Trojan 10ga offering.
