Brent, good day a small bulge really don't hurt the shotability of the gun but I always say never say never. I'd have someone look at it. ch

Calvin,
Thanks for the welcome. Id been shooting the trojan with a bulge for a long time with out much thought but a friend got me worried about it so I took it to briley's here in town. The guy at the sale counter (not sure he is a smith) said it probably wasnt safe. besides Ive been looking for a project so Ive decided to hunt down a cheap trojan with bad wood etc and see if I can make one good gun out of two bad ones. |

Brent, a bulge can be removed by a good gunsmith. I'm surprised Briley's didn't offer to do the job. There are plenty of smiths who can do the job, Kirk Merrington in Terrell TX for instance. Why not post a couple of pictures of the bulge and we'll let you know what we think.

Brent: Not to worry....Bulges can generally be fairly easily removed to where they are nearly undetectable.
