Hi Mills
I dont think there is a pro for antiques here in my country. The best occasion is to find an orphan forend or find a gunsmith in Michigan near Detroit where my relatives live. |

Wow - Michigan! That is a huge plus. We have several members and a few gunsmiths who live in Michigan.
That makes it easier. Your Trojan is made on the 1-frame size and that simplifies the search a bit. Good luck with your restoration. .

Ok, if you can come to the US there are a lot of options.

Better if you can have your relatives send you a replacement stock and forend.
You don't want to deal with the hassles of bringing your Parker into this country... very expensive and lots of "red tape". .

Yeah exactly. nobody wants to deal with arms import/export; here in Europe the laws are very strict.
That is the big question. Replacement? where? how? |

If I had a used stock and/or forend for a 1-frame Trojan I would give them to you... but I don't. Maybe someone else here does and you could strike a deal with them.

Very kind of you Dean. I hope someone else here does. Amazed by how many members are here.
I will change the title description also to be more specific |

The rules about non-members buying and selling on this forum are pretty specific. I would ask our website administrator, John Dunkle, how the rules relate to you buying a stock and forend here. Simple enough to just send him a PM asking about it.
Best, Dean .
