Receiver repairable?

[Craig Budgeon]

Tobias, I think 99.9 % of this forum would have made the investment that Edgar did in his BH. However, I doubt that 1% of this forum would do the same for your Trojan.

Craig and Dean, see Tobias' original post #15. The gun was given to him by an old friend. It won't be prohibitively expensive to repair. I think more than 1% would repair a gift from an old friend for a modest investment. I doubt "what can I get for it?" is foremost on his mind. Sometimes, the intrinsic value trumps the cash value.

That’s why I’m asking the questions..
Thanks for the input.
None of it is wasted.
I’m considering the all options.
If it can be made shootable for 3-400 it’s something I’m very interested in.
I’m not looking to restore. It belonged to a friend of mine and like having it around.
If that 3-400 is parts alone.
Maybe I’ll wait until I can spend a bit more.
Or I’ll look at replacing the hammer myself.
I’m a carpenter and I also like to work on watches and know how to work slowly when it’s important and precisely with the right tool.
I’ve reached out to both suggested gunsmiths and plan to have it looked at before the end of the year.
Thanks again for all of the comments PGCA is a great place for advice all around!
