New Guy Question
Yesterday I posted a question about a Trojan. Good thing. Being the computer whiz that I am, I posted it on the Foto Friday forum. Bad thing. This is where it needs to be.
In a nut shell, I found a Trojan (I really like them) serial number 177368, I guess built in 1917. The barrels are not marked as to what the chamber length is. I'd really like to have one chambered to 2-3/4". So, if this one is 2-9/16", boy I don't know.
I want a gun I can hunt with, doesn't need to be 10 out of 10 but just a good honest hunting gun. If this one turns out to not be chambered to 2-3/4" my question is, from what build year should I be looking for to find a 2-3/4" chambered gun? If I find one, and the gun is in good shape can I shoot todays shotshells through it?
With retirement(not by choice) just around the corner and a new setter pup in the works I'll be having plenty of time to chase birds again. I'm just hoping it will be with a Trojan!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
