Where do you get the $12k cost to build? Seems a bit high looking at the price of a Browning BSS before it went out of production and the price of the ill fated Ruger Gold Label.

Tony could build a Trojan for $1500 retail and make money. He knows that no one would buy it. Further, it would take away from his other offerings.

Somebody better let Mr. Galazan know how much money he is losing on those RBL guns he is selling!

Bill I have no idea what Tony's overhead is in his new facility or the hourly wages he pays his skilled employee’s or what his materials(walnut blanks, barrel tubes, frame steel, etc.) cost but being a manufacturer in one of if not the highest taxed state in the country I would think $1,500.00 would be a little low.

There might be demand if there was something unique, such as the gauges Parker didn't make 10, 28, 410 etc. I'd be in the market if there was a Trojan 10ga offering.
