That is a neat L.C. Smith shotgun. It probably claimed its share of Ducks, back-in-the-day!

Before regulations and laws passed in 1968, it was easy to buy guns interstate, by mail-order.

"Catalog Companies" could ship or mail right to your home, without dealers or Federal Authorities being involved.
People's signed statement, that they were 21 years old and not a criminal, was good enough.
You complied with state and local laws. The consequences for 'breaking the law' were real.

I'm sure it has. That one I have no intentions on shooting (black powder shells and all that). Was the first time ive ever seen a gun barrel like that too.

Will be nice to thoroughly clean up this Krag and try it out though!

Krags are a hoot to shoot, especially family heirlooms.

The 180-grain bullet "Hunting" loads shoot well in most Krags.

Save your 'fired' Brass. The .30-40 is a reloaders dream.
