Lead pins on a Trojan
 

OK' Guys, Have you any info. on lead pins on a Parker or is this something added after production.

neva scene dat befo.

Thats a new one for me.

When you see the target in the center SHOOT ! Are they drilled in or drops of solder ? Just trying !

It looks like an aid to sighting. Maybe the gun was used with slug ammo or buck shot.

My best guess would be they are for slugs too. They are too far back, too close to the eye, to be used to compensate for flying birds. I wonder what the group size would be at 35 yards with slugs.

I used to have a Remington model 10A military trench gun that had that setup except the rear beads were near the back end of the receiver. I'm pretty sure they were added by a previous owner though.

my thoughts were that they were added for sighting purposes...i bet she would do fine with slug loads... i d have to try it out for sure... charlie

I saw a nice Greener at the Baltimore show last year with the same setup. Two ivory beads at the breech end. It wouldn't stop me from buying an otherwise nice gun.

I have seen this on an nice Ithaca years ago an the owner said they were lead pins. I purchased the Trojan well before that with a broken butt stock, looked like the previous owner had used it for a combination duck gun / boat paddle. It is choked full/full os I haven't fired slugs in it. Jim Gray marked barrels and really good even patterns.

I am left eye dominant and if I'm not careful mounting, the beads don't line up, seems to me this would definitely help, just a thought

I'm left handed and right eye dominant and shoot from the right shoulder. All though I know the pins are there, I don't notice them when I swing on a clay or late season dove.

Gee Bill...And I thought I was the only one with that dilemma. Welcome to the fold....:)

Dave, my father was right handed and keep telling me of I wanted to learn how to do anything I'd have to do it right handed and figure it out. I've had shoot trap on both sides but score better from the right. In the dove feild or the duck blind it comes to the right sholder naturely.
