Allan, nice looking 16! The one I looked at locally....the stock is practically black and the checkering is either so worn down or just filled with crud. If I were to purchase it, the first order of business is to strip and de-oil the stock. Once that's done, I'd have a better idea of how much good checkering remains. Bear in mind that I have several Trojans now that I'm holding for 2 grandsons when they become of age when they can handle these) Having just recently refinished one of those stock, I'm familiar with the checkering. The wood on the Trojan 16 I looked at the other day is just so dark with whatever, it's difficult to tell what shape the original checkering is in. The wood didn't seem punky - not at least from the outside, once the frame is off though we'll know what the inside condition is. I may run over tomorrow and take a look as well as get some pics of it with the shop's permission and post here. Thanks again for your post
