    Exposed Hammer 10 gage Archived Message

    Posted by Dale on October 1, 2007, 12:56 pm

    I inherited a 10 gage LC Smith which was my grandfathers, as best I can tell by the serial number it was made in the 1860's or 70's. It was abused pretty badly and my dad even put screws in the stock when it split. The Damascus steel barrels have had many boxes of high powered shells put thru them as we did not know any better. I am trying to make a showpiece out of it but am lacking some parts and information. Does anyone have any pictures of the stock and release area of this type shotgun?? The lever by the spring is missing the assembly screw and bushing?? or maybe it was just a special screw. Any information would be help-full.
