This gun was scattered all over my bench Friday night. I had to make a new firing pin as well as tools to put it back together. It was my intention to carry it opening day when it broke. So thankful to actually get to hunt with it.

What shells are you using? That's awesome, congrats!

Been wanting to tote my 1930 LC Smith for a gobbler hunt

Nice - congratulations. What chokes are in that gun? I assume they're fixed.

Left full, Right modified.

Apex 2 3/4" ammo.
I use it very sparingly. The metal in this gun can take it but 92 year old wood doesn't need that beating all the time. Usually just dove loads.

Thanks again fellers. You can't imagine how much I enjoyed letting this old gun do what it was made for.

Congrats,  that's awesome,  do you have history with gun?. I have old side by side that was my grandfather's, single trigger. My father cut stock for me as youngster, killed a lot of rabbits with it. Need to get a new stock and take out for memories.

I don't have a history with this one. I bought it from Cabelas gun library. They bought out a big shotgun collection from an estate sale. A lot of my antique guns I actual know the history.

I used my late best friends model 12 to take a bird last year. He was more like a father to me than my own father. Don't wait. Get it in the woods.
