L.C. Smith Trap package research - 10/05/07 06:48 PM
As I have stated in posts below, I have been doing some research on the Double barrel Trap package that Hunter Arms offered from around late 1919-1925 or so. I am in need of more guns to glean info from to make this research as accurate as I can.
In particular I am in need of info from L.C. Smiths guns that have the following configuration.
#1 Built between 1919 and 1925
#2 Must have a Hunter Selective One Trigger
#3 Must have a beavertail forend
#4 Must NOT have a Vent rib
I have a certain number of "searches" left at the Cody Museum tha houses the remaining L.C. Smith records. If someone contacts me that owns such a gun, that fits the research criteria, I will provide them with all the info that Cody has on their SPECIFIC gun. I will do this until my searches run out in number. I honestly don't know how many I have left, but if you contact me I will return the favor with all the info I can find out about your gun.
This will be the EXACT same info you would get in an offical Cody letter, but it won't be an offical COdy letter. Those cost I think $55.00 for non-members...this info will be provided by me as I have paid for a certain number of serial number searches.
NOTE: This will only apply to guns that I think will fit into the scope of my research. Pictures of your gun and serial number will get me started, and we can go from there. My email is in my profile, I do hope some of you have something to contribute and I look forward to speaking with each of you that do.
