Overall 2023 was a pretty good year , Planted a couple of food plots that did well ,managed to keep my tractors running well enough to get some corn in and shot a Nice 8 Point in archery season just as rut was kicking in along the creek that runs through the bottom of my property ! Also managed to shoot a handful of Long Tailed Pheasants with my CHE 20 Gauge over my Buddies new English Pointer Pup ! My Parker collecting was minimal although I did manage to Purchase a Gun I have been searching for for years ,ever since I read about the Trojan Grades that had been built with Twist barrels ,I wanted one, Lo and Behold right here on our site , Mr. James Palmer listed 173901,A Trojan with Twist Steel Barrels the actual one listed in the Parker Story I had read about years before ! A little rough around the edges and some boogered up screws but a quick trip up to Lou Rotelli's for new screws and a minor cleaning and some light wood touch up she looks nearly new " Minus All Case Colors " and I couldn't be happier with it ! A Trojan Grade 12 Gauge , built on a # 1 Frame with The Original Twist Steel Barrels , How about That ! Now that makes a Good Year !
