Another Trojan Question from the New Guy

[todd allen]

Back in my hey-day of gun buying, I bought a little 20 ga. Trojan at a trap shoot in Las Vegas. I didn't need it, as I had plenty of good SxS guns to hunt with, but I just marveled at the simplicity of the little gun. All original, 28" BBLs, and untouched and honest.
Twenty plus years later, it dawns on me that this little gun has sat in the corner of the safe, mostly untouched, and never even fired, by me.
I grab the gun, the dogs, and a hand full of shells, and off we go after some desert quail.
A couple hours later, the bag is five birds heavier, a few shells lighter, home we go.
The little Trojan was a pure joy to shoot. Light, fast, an absolute wand!
It will be my go-to 20 gauge.

If he offered a good deal on both, them buy both. If you only want one, than join the association and post the one you don't want here. Like my selling skills so far?

Just an update. I spent most of last night looking at and studying both Trojans and came to the conclusion I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Neither gun increased or decreased in what I thought they were while looking at them at the gun shop ( I think the shop owner was ready to charge me rent because of the amount of time I spent in his shop looking at the guns). Both have been carried and hunted and have the marks that I would expect in comparing them with my current shotguns. I think they're good honest guns, well, at least in my mind.

The package deal the owner offered came to $1,950. I mention this only for input as to whether you folks feel that was reasonable. Kind of a loaded question because of your not seeing the Trojans. Just curious if it was in the ball park. As for me, no buyer's remorse. I guess that's what really matters but if you don't ask, you never learn.

Can't wait for this weekend when I'm here during the day light to give them a try.

Again, thanks much.

I think you have done well. The important is that you think you have hone well. By the last post of yours you do. Enjoy them. They are great guns.
Now you need to join the PGCA as a member. The fellowship that exists here is beyond words.

Is they are both in sound shape with some original finish remaining, then you did not do bad at all. You need to see pics to tell you how well, but considering that one does not often find a 16g Trojan for under $1k, ... Yeah...

tried to join the PGCA, paypal wouldn't co-operate.
