His post on Parkers seems to concur with what I have read other smith's say, however this comment on page by him is a bit more surprising.
"I have many years working on shotguns from every industrialized nation on Earth and I can tell you that there is nothing impressive about any classic-era American shotguns. Once one has seen actual high quality, it becomes difficult to make excuses for guns like the Smith."
