Description:
L.C. Smith Field Grade 20 Gauge SxS
30" BARRELS, DYNAMIC, LIGHTWEIGHT
General Specs: LC Smith, Year 1928, 20 Gauge, 6lbs 9oz, Side by Side
Serial Number: FW106919
There were a LOT of Field Grade 20ga. Elsies made over the years. Most are nice, but not special, guns. I have noticed that even on the common Featherweight frame the guns can be a bit on the heavy side, often weighing close to 6 3/4lbs. even with 26" barrels. Every once in a while I find one that is dynamic in hand, with lighter than usual weight. Usually guns with the lower rib from the 1920's or earlier. This gun, sn106919 made in 1928 is just such a gun. Weighing 6 1/2lbs. with long, elegant 30" barrels and balanced perfectly 1/4" ahead of the hinge pin, it balances just so in hand. Still has a ton of case color and original barrel blue as well. Most guys buying guns of this nature are shooter/collectors that will use the gun for upland birds and clays. I cannot think of a better suited, or more affordable gun to do that with, as this gun is fitted with Briley screw-in choke tubes that give the gun great versatility for everything from long range dove shooting to skeet targets, to sporting clays, and back to the field for late season pheasants. The screw-in chokes allow you to use the one gun for all of your 20ga. needs, and it is a rare to find a little 20ga. with 30" barrels. These guns are going up in value as you enjoy their use, so you won't lose money should you ever decide to sell this nice little piece. The price is affordable, the gun is attractive and 100% functional, and you can shoot any choke you choose. Great way to get into the small bore vintage double gun chase without breaking the bank. Thanks for looking.
