Parker Trojan with Twist Barrels

[B. Dudley]

An earlier gun with rib extention... Great find indeed!

This evening I sat down and measured the chokes to the gu and found a nice solid full and modified choking. Additionally the Hosford gauge showed a min wall thickness of the barrels to be 35 thou. (30" barrels)

All looks good. I filled in the forms and sent in for letters for the Tojan Twist barreled gun and a Parker P Grade, twist barrels, 16 ga, O frame (26" Barrels)
Will update when the PGCA letters arrive.

PS:

The Parker 16 ga has a fishtail lever.

Homework..... reading The Parker Story. But most of the time I have to read I would rather be playing with Parkers.

LLoyd, the same order that included your gun also included several V Grade guns with ten gauge Damascus barrels. I have seen the Trojan Twist guns but have not seen one of the VH Damascus tens. The Trojans were $22 and the VH guns were $25. Iver Johnson was not only a preferred, volume customer, they helped Parker Brothers clean up their obsolete parts. Iver Johnson has bought Parker shotguns for as little as $19.

Lloyd, I think I am pretty jealous...

Hi Dave

I have plenty of rst shells. I do like collecting, cleaning and playing with them.
I just can't wait to get out and shoot it.

Just to avoid confusion, the guns were ordered by Iver Johnson Sporting Goods, successors to John. P. Lovell, Boston and not to be confused with Iver Johnson Arms
