great storey about the 10 ga smith. i bought a gun listed as a 12 ga lifter parker and it turned out to be a 10 ga...i do not have any reload for no tox in the 3 inch shell somebody should have..maybe they ll speak up... my old long range got its first live target last evening my wife seen it out the window and i got the old elsie out and got to about 25 yards..it was a armadilo...wont be digging in my yard no more... charlie

Charlie..... I just love surprises like that. When I purchased my
Ideal grade they didn't realize it was factory chambered 3". They
Stuck by their original price. Armidilo tastes like chicken doesn't it?

only certain parts. some parts tast like beef andothers tast like pork. You should have shot it with your 8ga.

Charlie, Is this LC Smith Long Range a recent acquisition? Sounds like a nice gun either way. I bet it would be good on turkeys

i have had this gun for about 3 years it is a field grade 3 inch chamber long range gun 30inch barrels modified choke both barrels.. was not happy with the modified chokes so found a set of 32 inch barrels on ebay they were 3 inch long range barrels full and modified chokes..these barrels snapped rite on the action but i had to take a die grinder and take about 1/64 off the barrel forearm lug the forearm fits both barrels like they were made for it... i woulda shot that armidillo with the old 8 ga but i got th the elsie first.. i ve never tried eating a armidillo but i guess if i was bad hungary i mite try one.. charlie

Charlie I was kidding about the beef and pork. As long as kroger and win dixie are in business I would forgo the armidillo.

A friend of mine said "if it tastes like chicken . . . . eat chicken"

i ate a snapping turtle once therew was part of it that tasted pretty good. but fellows lets be honest when you beat the taste of chicken youve really done something.. good thing i did not have the lc smith when granny use to ring the old rooster s neck..... charlie

Alligator tastes like chicken with extra flavor. It is quite good, if a little tough
