Parker vs L.C. Smith guns

[Lloyd McKissick]

Researcher, that "Rube-Goldbergian" design has lasted for a long time now (from 1886 to the present day) and it has killed a veritable mountain of game over those intervening years. Like it or don't like it, that's fine (& I know Dewey is sick of working on the many later versions). Crapping on it here is not making you any points.

With all due respect Mr. Mckissick, the OP asked for opinions on which gun was better. That's what he got from Mr. Noreen, who has forgotten more about guns than every member on this board ever knew. As does Dewey. I challenge anyone to find a more qualified gunsmith. It's the ole Ford vs. Chevy thing so let's keep it civil here.

I had a few Smiths over the years. Operative word is HAD. I have plenty of Parker and Lefever guns. Even a few Ithaca and Crescent to boot. My two cents, I'd take any Parker over a Smith any day.

Researcher doesn’t need to make any points here, he arrived fully armed with points.
