Baker L C Smith 3 barrel shotgun

Posted by Richard Pike on April 30, 2023, 3:01 pm

I recently purchased a Baker LC Smith drilling shotgun serial #676. The rifle caliber is not any of the suggested calibers in the article about these guns. The closest I can find is .41 Long Colt. Is that possible? The muzzle end of the rifle barrel measures.410 with a micrometer. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My email address: raps7575@aol.com

Richard, anything is possible. The 41 Long Colt came out in 1877 and was made mainly for pistols.
The 3 barrel Baker L.C. Smith's came out with quite a few cartridges. The best way to find out what you have is make a casting from Cerosafe.
What gauge are the shotgun barrels?

The shotgun barrels are 10 gauge.
