Parker vs L.C. Smith guns

[Craig Larter]

L.C. Smith made some lovely guns. Fulton is 30 miles from my duck club and being a life long western NY resident, I have a special interest in then. Every week in the summer, I drive through Fulton to my dog trainer's grounds and pass by the site of the old long gone factory. I also pass through Phoenix NY birthplace of Burt Becker.

Not an ugly gun, Craig.

The early Smiths are beautifully made guns and generally without the stock issues caused by shoving too much into the later made guns.

Smiths and Parkers have a tendency to be heavy. I don't think there's a clear winner on this aspect. If you want lighter American doubles, try the Fox and Ithaca (especially the Flues model).

These guns are well made American classics. Worthy of our admiration...and continued use.
