Smith, hard to find. JDW, I have a 16 gauge, 1908, L.C. Smith Hammer Gun with Royal Steel barrels just like yours and it has taken more quail than one would imagine, in fact I killed my first quail with it in my very early teens. I still use it every year, but mostly for Turkeys these days. Our wild Quail had all but disappeared. Ole Cowboy

It has a 35" straight rifled barrel. When I first shot it, I thought I have a shell malfunction as there was almost no recoil or report. It was like shooting a .22 or something. Broke the clays just like it was supposed to. "It's a good day for something"
