trojans are strong guns...however, i would be worried more about the wood than the metal. a lot of pounding with even light trap loads is not a good idea, if you wish to preserve the original wood. eventually, it will crack and begin to pulverize. better to spend some money on new wood and put the old wood away for safe keeping? also, most old sxs's have too much drop for trap shooting anyway. this is a another good reason to restock it with wood dimensioned for the trap range.

keep it simple and keep it safe...
