I think Alexander Brown, Uncle Dan and the other great American gun inventors of the period (including the crew at Ithaca) got a lot right. There is nothing like a classic American double or single trap gun. Were there flaws.yes, were they perfect.no, but a lot of the designs came from the late 1800's and early 1900's and many of the guns built on these designs, using the technologies of the time, are still in service today. A little over patriotic, maybe, but that's good, we need a little more of that today. I do think the high grade American doubles (and SBT guns) are true works of art and national treasures.

The designs where made to be tooled up for mass production in factories and assembled by workers who had not apprenticed with a fine gun maker for years. These guns where rugged for the most part and sold at a price point that most could afford. As Drew stated, most of the American doubles where made in great quantities in lower field-utility grades. Smith, so it's really not a good comparison. As most know, the English Best is an entirely different gun from an American double like the L.C.

Vicknair's article, I had never seen that before. Kel-Tec, Kimber, Knights Manufacturing Company, Knights Armament, Krag-Jorgensen, Kriss, L. Any questions, please let me know, Drew also knows a ton about these guns. I recommend you find a nice condition pre-1913 Elsie and then shoot away. You will not ruin these guns, they were made to shoot.
LC SMITH GUNS FULL
And I shoot this gun a lot, I don't think twice about shooting a full 100 rounds of sporting clays with it in an afternoon, not a hiccup.
LC SMITH GUNS CRACK
Smith A-1, there is not one crack and everything is original, the stock has never been glass bedded or reinforced (127 years and no cracks). The pre-1913 Elsies had impeccable wood to metal fitting, especially in the higher grades, and from what I have seen it's not an issue if you use reasonable loads in a good condition gun.Īs an example, the following are a few pics of my 1893 L.C. Yes, they can crack due to the side lock design, but my belief is that most of the cracking is done by shooting hot loads that were never intended for these guns (anything can break if it's abused). The stories of Elsie stock cracks are way overdone in my opinion.
