I was given a field grade l.c. smith by an elderly family friend this christmas. He told me it was a twelve gauge that was miss stamped from the factory as a 16 ga. According to the serial it I of 1947 manufacture. I have not attempted to fire it, but a 12 ga shell does chamber and extract without any resistance. The muzzles measure in tolerance for a full and modified choke of 12 ga I.d. has anyone else heard of this happening? I'd sure like to walk the pasture with it and bring him a mess of quail with this beautiful double he was so nice to give me. Thanks to anyone who can help.
