LC Smith hammer 10 gauge

Posted by Duane Hamilton on August 3, 2022, 6:32 pm

Hello,
I purchased an LC Smith 1896 10 gauge receiver. The serial number is 53006 with an F under it and it has the date Mar 29, 83 stamped in it also. I’m just curious to know how old it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you very much! That’s who I bought it from.

Probably going to part it out. Can’t do much else with it. I have no clue as to the demand for parts from it, but maybe someone needs them.

Hi Duane, not sure why my prior post was deleted

Steve: The ATF considers pre-1898 firearms as an "antique", but

6. ONLY L.C. Smith parts and barrels (not actions/frames) may be sought or sold on this Forum, and you should include your email so a buyer or seller can contact you privately.

If Duane is a LCSCA member he can certainly post the action for sale on the Members Only section

Dear Board Administrator, thank you for providing your rationale for deleting my response.

Following the guidance you have provided (....and you should include your email so a buyer or seller can contact you privately),

Duane, please contact me at StephenSipprell@Eaton.com at your earliest convenience as I have the barrels for 53006F.

Thanks,
Steve

1896, the other dates are patent dates for various design changes.
