Brian, are you now set up to head up Trojans on a mass production basis? It looks like you have a lifetime job "if you take care of it" as my Dad used to say.

Well I wouldn't say mass production given the time that I have. But it doesn't really take too long anymore just to head up. And my 2 frame Trojan pattern actually worked well for my 2 frame GH that I am doing as well.
I also have my 1 frame shooter that I have to set up as well. I wanted to put a nicer piece of wood on it. I found that my No. 1 frame tang was shaped a lot differently than the No. 2. So I can't use the No. 2 pattern for the No. 1.

Checkering is done. 16lpi flat top checkering doesn't take long to cut. I was able to use photos from the book "Parker Guns - The old Reliable". Photos of Ed's Unfired Trojan were a big help. Along with what was left of my original checkering on my pattern stock.
I do intend on replacing the forend with a new one that matches the color of the new buttstock better, but the refinished original one works fine for now. 100_9075.jpg 100_9074.jpg 100_9070.jpg

Brian, Looks like a really nice job, you may recall the "try pic" I posted of the VH I started stocking early in Oct. I am just now finish sanding that stock, I am fairly sure that you are younger than me, better set up to build stocks, and more talented than I am. Watching for the progress on the "G" you mentioned. Best John Hancock
