LC Smith 10 gauge

[Bill Murphy]

In addition to the many eight gauge Parkers, few Smiths, one Colt, there are a few Lefevers out there. If you want to obtain an eight gauge for your collection, you should attend side by side shoots where PGCA and the L.C. Smith Collectors Association have a display presence. Most of the Smith eight gauges are in the collection of one person. He can't need all of them. Maybe he will turn one loose for you.

Everything that intrests me is kinda like Lays Potatoe Chips !

Just one is never enough

While any thing I acquire does go in my modest accumulation I have a rule now . Everything I buy must be shot in some form and usually everything I buy within reason needs to be blooded at some point !

That shouldn't be a problem with a Parker or Smith eight. The shells are easy to load and the gun is just another gun, just heavier.
