I agree made just as well without the frills. That's the problem they were made to hunt and shoot a most are used up. Finding a nice Trojan is getting harder to find. In 16ga. Only 6,500 were made. 33,005 total in all ga's. This 16 is my second the first was a 12ga.

I think I remember that Trojan A-1 Special. It was engraved by the "missing engraver". I kind of like it.

Hey all. I was just in Cabelas in Centerville Oh and was looking at their 12 gauge Trojan listed in their Gun library . Was 800.00 list. Gun was in ok condition
When i ran the barrel inspection i was surprised to see it was 2 1/2 chamber. Double checked my measurements and it was minimal 2 1/2 . not even close to 2 9/16. I was using my Brownell's set which is machinist quality. Bores were .735. choked .040 both sides.
The guy in charge had no clue what i was talking about being short short chamber, and sealed his argument by stuffing a snap cap (2 1/4 long) in the chamber and closing the action says "2 3/4". . I packed up and left San gun. The wife was outside the inspection room, and grabbed me saying lets go as she was done with them too. Guess doesnt pay to try to save at Bass Pro/Cabelas .
Any way, 2 1/2 chamber . 1926 manufacture. Mattly

Cabela's? Yeah that doesn't surprise me, they are not vintage gun literate. Pointed out to them that a gun with blued barrels was actually Damascus and stamped as such. They didn't believe me because the barrels were "blued".

I buy the gun, not the owner or salesman. In most instances, a salesman who is uninformed or arrogant is your greatest friend in a gun deal.

Except for the ones who firmly believe a gun is worth a lot more than it is
