After years of searching, I finally got me a 16 gauge, L.C. Smith, Hammer gun, with 28" fluid steel barrels. This will go real good with my 28" Smith, Damascus, 16 hammer gun. Yea Ha !!   |

| Is it in hand yet, and if so has it been to the range? Keep us posted. |

I just got it on Gunbroker. The guy is only an hour drive from me. I called and talked with him. He says gun is allot nicer than pictures show. Even if she needs a little TLC, it should make a fine gun. I'll confirm the guns condition, after I pick it up.

Just good clean living Rev. I'm worried I might be getting close to the dark side though. I found myself looking at those Fox guns the other day.  |

Dave,
Congratulations! Nice find! I think the Damascus gun will appreciate the company!
