I have a cochlear implant so ring test doesn't always work for me.

Looks lifted to me. But hard to tell.

If the owner was willing and you really wanted to find out if they're lifted you could immerse them in hot water for a few seconds and look for bubbles.

The solder joint appears to be compromised and it looks like relaying the ribs is in order.

IMHO too hard to tell from pic...depending on what he uses to wipe gun down, and how careful he is, that could just be gunk the rag isn't getting too. What makes me think this is the uniformity of the stuff along what looks like the entire length of the rib. if the barrels do more than just a dull "thunk" when ring testing....then it may just be crud...another test is to hold them over a sheet of white paper and band on the backside with the heel of your hand and see if any rust falls of of those "cracks"

Hmm, he is asking 400 for the gun. But not sure I want to get into a barrel job over an old cheap Trojan...

for $400 it would make a fine rainy day gun.

And another $400 to re-lay the ribs?
