LC Smith Trap Grade

Post by Silvers »

Yesterday I shot a new to me LC Smith Trap Grade 32 incher alongside two Parker 32's, one a VHE Vent Rib Double Trap and the other a Damascus barreled GH, they’re respectively owned by friends Mike and George. The LCS is a 1915 gun and I’ve had her for a while now in the back of the safe. First time I fired her yesterday. Sporting Clays seems to attract an inordinate number of 32" guns. Love 'em :D frank

Gotta ask about the single trigger on the VHE?

Dave, it’s a Miller type. Dan May tuned it for Mike and told him while it’s not marked Miller it has Miller fingerprints all over it. Dan would know.

The selector level caught my eye as it reminded me of the selector behind the single trigger on Frank M. Tobin's personal Tobin shotgun.

Frank,
Are all three of the 32” guns full choked? A very nice trio of trap guns on the clays course!! The Miller trigger configuration with the barrel selector toggle switch in front of the trigger is a very good ST mechanism. That LC Smith is a very nice looking gun!!

Thank you Brett. The GH is choked Mod & I-Mod, Mike's VHE is right X (I don't know) and left Full. My LCS is choked X-Full in both barrels. I'll be opening them to 20 and 28 points when I get some time. That combo is my favorite for clays with 2-barrel/12-gauge guns. frank
