Default I wouldn't call them upgrades..

Recently, I've been thinking about passing along some things.. I gave my Grandsons their first shotguns..410s..so it's about time for another step. I posted a picture of this 20 a while back..but not a good look..This early Trojan came from a pawn shop in Arizona. BT forend was present..but had a sliver missing. Chris Dawe did his magic. Stock was about junk..so..DF switched to a straight grip that I had..and it fit near perfect. A Galazan TG was used on both. Noelle did the engraving. It is 26" ..double ivory..F/IM....The VH 16...It's an O frame 28"..F/CYL..double ivory..Again..DF switched the stock..and Noelle engraved it..I have tried 3 times to switch stocks. These two were near perfect. I tried a Parker Repro. 20 on another O/16..and it was a t least 1/4" off everywhere..I'll pick some more for my 3 son-in-laws..2 will get Parker's..while the 3rd..(I suspect he voted Democrat). will get my NIB Fanner 50 !.

Hey Jerry, I think I remember you adopting me several years back… remember?

No Jerry, I had one of those around '57 or so but I've outgrown the toy guns.
