Parker Bro Trojan 12 GA
Folks,
I'm new to the forum and absolutely new to shotguns. I have owned and used centerfire and rimfire rifles including Doubles quite a bit. I had hoped to someday get a decent but affordable SxS double trigger shotgun to enter the shotgun world and at the same time get more double trigger practice for my Nitro Express doubles.
I retired one week ago and my very thoughtful boss, instead of a Rolex ( I joke) gave me something infinitely better.
A SxS Parker Bro. Trojan 12 GA he has owned for over thirty years.
I know little about these guns but it appears to be in remarkable shape. I do have a good friend up here in Alaska that knows far more than I about such guns and I will have him check the gun over and measure the chokes and chamber length and give advice on what type of ammo to use in the gun. I plan on learning to shoot clay targets at our local range and as I said get some much needed double trigger practice in.
The gun has beautiful case coloring intact. The serial number is 1809xx. The barrels are 26 inch.
I have read a couple threads on here to try and learn about Parker Bro guns but as I said, I know little at present.
I will try and post up some pictures of the barrel flats and stampings if anyone would like to comment on their meaning.
Cheers
Jim
