Trying to make sure I buy the right parts to fix my friends heirloom
Posted by Brandon Gaudin on April 21, 2017, 2:53 pm
My friend gave me his grandfathers old LC Smith to see if I can get it back into working condition. As it is more of a sentimental piece versus a fix to sell piece he is not too worried about keeping all original parts on the gun. It is a side by side 12 gauge with hammers. On the barrel it has Hunter Arms Co Makers Fulton NY. LC Smith is stamped on the side plate. The serial number is 72766 grade F. After doing research I have discovered it to be a 1924 model. With Im guessing a Royal steel barrel. It looks to be twisted and not Damascus because it has tiger stripes instead of swirl patterns in the steel. The stock has cracked and rotted into the gun itself and the fore end is missing all together. the left hammer and screw are also missing. What I needed to know for sure is what frame does this gun have and what model should I look for to get parts for it? Thanks in advance for your help, Brandon
