Dick Miller and I met yesterday to inspect this gun. Dick is of the opinion that the beavertail forend was likely Hunter Arms factory and original to the gun when it was new. So what I have is a L C Smith Ideal grade Skeet gun, with (by Cody letter) 25" barrels,SST, and a 14" LOP to a checkered butt. I hope this with revdocdrew's photo post ( July 25 @ 9:40pm) will be of some help to others in the future. Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome on the LCSCA forum.
