Default Inherited 16ga Trojan

All signs point to me inheriting my Grandfathers 16 ga. Trojan. (serial: 227193)

The barrels have a small amount of corrosion on them from the past few years of non use. Bores are clean and action is still tight and smooth. Overall appears to be a very solid gun.

I plan on hunting with it, as that would be the best way to honor the gun and my Grandfather.

What kind of loads can I shoot through this thing? I believe that the chambers are 2.5", rather than 2.75". Am I limited to the RST loads? Do I have my perfect excuse to get into reloading?

About that rust on the barrel. Suggestions on best way to deal with it? It appears to be very light surface rust, no pitting. Don't have pictures yet. Will have once I have the gun, but it's in my grandparents basement for now.

Looking forward to joining the Parker owners family!
