Need advise on 16ga Trojan with bad barrel

[Bibb Gault]

Wow Charlie, thats pretty creative. Have you actually done something like this before? Estimated cost of the liners? I have a pile of 28ga left over from an Original 28ga Parker I sold several months ago. Belonged to my dad and could not see me actually shooting something that valuable with the risk of scratching it up.

Thanks,
Bibb

If your 28 ga shells are old and in the box, they are worth more as collector pieces. It would be better to buy new shells.

Dear Bidd,
If for some reason you decide not to get barrels and want to sell the reciever, please let me know. Thanks, Berk

Parker only made a handfull of single trigger Trojans. And if this gun is original then It is worth more than parting it out. However, the single trigger setup looks odd to me. Wouldn't the single trigger be selective. And the crude checkering on the tip of the trigger looks out of place.

bibb i dont know what the barrel liner would cost give brilys a call...but the barrels can be fixed the way i said...you have to take around rod same size as the inside of the 16 ga barrels slolw heat the barrel metel that is blown... hammer and peen it down ...kinda like shaping a bent car fender...once you have worked barrels down then tig weld broken seams... you then will have some grinding and re welding...remove the iron rod in the barrels and put in liner.... not as easy as it sounds but most anymetal man could do this....and yes ive done this before..the cost was very little as i done them myself i didnot have to have a barrel liner my barrels were not hardly as bad as yours but close... charlie

Brian, you are correct that is not a Parker single trigger (at least from the ones that I have seen)

Most of my 28ga shells are modern and the ones that are old I doubt are old enough to be collectable.

Bibb take a picture of the boxes that you think are old enough, you maybe surprised.

So if it's not original, was it possibly done when sent back for repair, or with some sort of kit? Are there any marks on the receiver that would indicate when and if a modification took place? Do factory records get detailed enough to indicate it it came with 1 or 2 triggers? Sorry for all the questions guys, but I am very curious as it seems to function very very slick and does not appear to be a hatchet job.

Thanks,
Bibb

I will post a couple of 28ga box photos.
Thanks Eric!
