    David, I have the article. It started my quest to own a "Long Range".
    A special gun for a special time in American firearms construction.
    I also have a couple of other LC smith guns that I would shoot if the goal was break as many clays as you can without a miss. As Jent points out at 22 yards the pattern is only about 14"...so you better be really good or best wait a bit before you shoulder the gun and fire. It looks like this is going to be a perfect turkey gun. The density of the pattern with small shot should be a real head knocker for Mr. Gobble. Still wonder and will probably never know how many of the 2000 or so that were made are still around. Mine will stay with me now until I am no more and then I hope the grandkids will keep it in the family.
