Yikes Drew, this means my Smith was made during the Spanish American War !! It sure doesn't look it. Wow. We measured the chambers yesterday and they're 2 3/4". I wonder if that's the original chamber length or did the previous owner(s)? have them bored out. Man do I feel old suddenly!

Chamber length is not an issue with Hunter Arms Co. or L.C. Smith Gun Co. 12 gauge guns, all of which had 2 3/4 inch chambers or were marked otherwise

1906 2E ordered with 2 5/8" chambers

Drew, I assume something like Rio Target loads at no more than 1200 fps would be ok in this beast.

Brad's work is exceptional and I've spoken with him. He's running a 4-6 month backlog right now. I'm talking with Turnbull to see what their time frame is like, I want to shoot this thing, this year if possible. Your classic doubles are beautiful! Would you like to add another BHE to your collection? I have an original for sale if you're interested. regards, allen

Allen, I second Mark's recommendation on Brad to do your LC. Well worth the wait and the colors will be perfect.
