LC Smith "Long Range" on the course

[Cold Spring]

Today at long last I tried out this LC Smith ”Long Range” 12-gauge gun on the sporting course at Rock Mountain. I’ve owned this one for a few years now but she’s been stuck in the back of the safe. 32-inch tubes with Full & Full chokes and weight at 8-3, made in 1927 after LCS started responding to sportsmen wanting lighter weight 3-inch duck guns. Ok, with hunting dimensions and those tight chokes she’s not the ideal sporting clays gun ….. but with a score of 52 ex 56 (all the paper shells I had) she certainly strutted her stuff today.

Check out the first pic with the factory burnishing still on the barrel breeches.

I really like those long ranges yours is a nice one...I have one that I found a set of barrels and fitted it to my gun...it has modified chokes both barrels...I use it for duck hunting great gun and I use modern 3 inch shells in her with a kick ease slip on pad....charlie

I love my Long Range. They are underrated in my opinion. Mine handles a lot better that my Super Fox and has plenty of killing power. I am about to send mine to Bill Graham for some refreshing

I keep looking for one that gets my heart racing. That one would do it.

I’ve vacillated several times on a Long Range /Wildfowler but so far I’ve not given in

Great job getting her out of the safe. Hope ya knock some feather off with it this season.
