LC Smith serial numbers can be very confusing, but it sounds to me like it was made in 1919 if its a Ideal grade

I load for all my guns. I mold bullets for all the old rifles. I'm in Anchorage. Will post pictures next week. My high wall isn't anything particularly fancy but the bore is good and it shoots well. I have a new bullet mold that should improve on the 3" groups I've been getting at 200yds.

A couple of months in Africa culling problem elephants....be still my beating heart. What a great opportunity and if he ever needs any help please have him call me. It would be just the thing for my new Ruger #1 450-400 Nitro Express and I could take the 416 Taylor as back up.

Here's a couple of pictures of my High Wall .45-90. 1887 vintage, #3 bbl, I think. Very good to excellent bore. Shoots well. Nothing fancy but the bore is much better than many. Wish it had a set trigger. The rear barrel sight is a good item but not original to the gun and not even close to being usable; it's just a nice decoration. The tang sight is a beauty and unused before I put it on this gun. I love tang sights. I can't see bbl sights anyway. I got the gun from Jim Goergens in Minnesota; I'd guess he deals more guns like this than anyone. I told him what I wanted and he let me know when he got one.
