A cool Waterfowler

[Cold Spring]

I'm always on the lookout for lighter weight Super-Fox guns. My ideal is something like 8-1/4 to 8-1/2 pounds, 32 inch tubes with 3-inch chambers, and about 14 to 14-1/4” LOP for cold weather hunting. Well she’s not a Super but I recently found a screamer/very high condition LC Smith Specialty Grade Long Range that’s spot on with those specs. Absolutely no wood cracks anywhere and she looks barely fired. The Long Range was LCS’s waterfowler that was marketed to compete with the Super-Fox, and the Specialty Grade was comparable with the Fox B Grade. This one was shipped in 1924 and is 1 of about 132 Specialty/Long Range guns ever made. Double triggers and is choked XF in both barrels. She's hardly a sporting clays gun but had a good day today 90/100 while shooting mostly simos on Rock Mountain’s course. My friend Allen was high in our gang with 91/100, using his Beretta competition gas gun. Here are a few pics. She'll be on the water this fall. frank
