Quail and dove gun

I know it's from the other side, but some guys did some great work on this little 20 gauge.

That top lever is a wonderful addition.

Who is the maker of this lovely little gun?

[Larry Stauch]

This is a 20 gauge LC Smith field grade donor gun. I was told that Charles Lee did the engraving and Dale Tate did the wood.

I'm sorry, but to my eyes that is a horribly ungraceful grip and comb nose.

I don't remember seeing them before I was struck blind by the entire forearm design. That has always been a peeve of mine. I am not a fan of a beavertail on a double anyway, but can appreciate its functional contribution if shooting a lot. However, I have never understood why stockmakers insist on making them the size of a 2x4 which you can't even wrap your hand around, and designing the lines so that they wander up and down the side of the barrel like a mountain range. I have an upgraded 20 ga Smith that was upgraded (not metalwork of this degree) that had incredible stocks by a really top tier nationally known stockmaker. I bought it because the price was 1/3 of the replacement and it had the original stocks. It had a similar forearm, and I shiver every time I walk by it.

It is nice work though.

Very nice work. Enjoy.
