Randy, congratulations on your new "elsie". I myself would only shoot low pressure shells through it, no more than 7,800 psi. You can buy 1 oz. modern shells that should meet that range. Also before you dismantle the barrels from the receiver make sure you re-cock the gun, or else you might bend the spring on the forend and it will be loose. A real problem with L.C. Smiths. Also get yourself some snap caps, so the firing pins are falling on something. I hope you will join the L.C. Smith Collectors Association.
