Default 20 ga. help

I'm looking at possibly buying a 20 ga Parker serial number 166452. Any info would be greatly appreciated. The gun just doesn't look correct to me with my limited knowledge.

This gun has a Butt plate that is from another gun (FN) with sharp (different) checkering on the stock and forearm and a Parker cap on the pistol grip. The barrels don't look like my Parkers with the front sight set back more than an original, rib has vague scratching on it and the rib has two different mattings. Forearm iron doesn't fit as tightly as I would expect Sorry I can't get pics to show what I'm describing. Thanks as always for any info.

Wow!! Someone put a lot of work into that old Trojan -- reprofiled the frame, mono-bloc'd the barrels, restocked, custom forearm and used a rib I suspect came from an L.C. Smith.

Buy? You might as well take your money & throw in a trash can! Barrel separation at the front looks excessive, no chokes given; may not have any choke or even shoot straight. Put your money to good use & buy a good gun.
