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?

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

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

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