Trojan 28 Gauge

[Matt Buckley]

I see in the Parker Story that two Trojans were produced in 28 gauge. I'm wondering if it is known whether these two guns still exist and if we know were they are. I'm just asking out of curiosity. This has probably been discussed before but I couldn't find any previous threads on it.

[Harold Pickens]

Interesting, didnt know about those, would be a real find.

Now you've got them thinking and looking

Thinking and Looking ,H'MM Those are a bad combination for the Wallet when it comes to Gun Collecting !!!!!

If you had a late Trojan 20 and a set of #0 frame 28 gauge barrels, you are only a sawed off doll's head away from having a Trojan 28 gauge. Unfortunately, there aren't a great number of 28 gauge barrels floating around without a gun attached.

[Dean Romig]

Yup Bill, those very thoughts crossed my mind last night. I have the Trojan 20 with rib extension and now all I need are the 0-frame 28 gauge fluid steel barrels... hmmmm.

Dean, I don't know whether there is enough dimension in a doll's head to make a Trojan rib extension. I would prefer a late Trojan that wouldn't require any fitting except sawing off the doll's head with a machinist's saw. Let me know if you find those 28 gauge barrels.

[Dean Romig]

My smith can make it wide enough if need be.

I’ll go take some measurements now....

Okay, the rib extension on my 20 gauge Trojan barrels is .268” in width and the narrow part of the doll’s head on two of my several 20 gauge 0-frame barrels are .268” and .269”
So I guess it should be an easy file n’ fit.

Matt, I am not near my TPS to check. Are those guns mentioned by serial number, and thus based on actual records? Or are they on the totals by grade/gauge tables?

[Jeff P]

Trying to assist.

They are listed by serial number
