Do you have a checklist for Inspecting a gun during an inspection period?

It is only a restored Trojan so don't over expect compared to what normally gets posted on here....but it is my first and I'm happy!

Does your new Trojan have any Remington repair codes stamped on the barrel flats? What claim did the seller make for the source of the refinishing of your gun?

Hi Bill,

The restoration was done before this owner and he did not know where it was done. The case coloring looks like it was cyanide so it is a little off the original. Everything else looks pretty good. I knew all of this info before the purchase so the price was calculated to match the representation of the gun.

I don't find any repair codes.

I am sending off for a letter to see if they have anything just in case.

In response to the original question, here's a 2-page Gun Evaluation Check List that I've used:

It's still a Parker, Jeff, and a 16 to boot. Very nice. No need to apologize. Congratulations and enjoy. I bet it won't be your last.

That is a great transition era Remington Parker. With no Remington repair codes, the appearance of the gun points to Larry DelGrego and Son. I would buy this gun off a gun show table without a problem.

Great first purchase, significantly better than my first stab at a Parker. This is a gun you can keep and enjoy for many years. Very nice, almost all members here have at least on trojan in their permanent collection. Enjoy
