Interesting-never had that problem with my older Trojan 12 No. 2 frame 30" barreled Parker, or the later VH 12 ga., 1 and 1/2 frame also 30" barrels I am shooting now- Wonder if the shim stock you get with some of the scopes and mounts might work as a "field fix" until you can get it to Mr. DelGrego-On the doll's head question, my Trojan had the small doll's head extension, a hunting pal has a Remington mfg. 20 Trojan Grade and it has a flat breech, like the M21 Winchesters.
