Trigger selection approximate age

Posted by Tom Lester on December 30, 2023, 1:11 pm

I recently acquired an L C Smith double barrel, double trigger shotgun, serial number FWE56048 Ideal guage. I have not been able to determine which trigger is for which barrel or the approximate year of product. Is there any place I can find this information?

DOM would be in the early 20s and could be confirmed with a Research Letter

Typically the front trigger fires the right barrel. Take an EMPTY (NO SHOT/NO POWDER) hull, put a piece of masking tape over the primer, insert into the right chamber and pull the front trigger. You have an ejector so the empty hull will be ejected from the chamber, and there will be an indentation in the tape.

There is lots of information in the FAQs
