Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The L.C. Smith No. 00 Shotgun, produced by the Hunter Arms Company in Fulton, New York, represents the entry-level grade of the renowned L.C. Smith line during the pre-1913 era. Manufactured from 1898 to 1914, the No. 00 was designed as an affordable yet dependable double-barrel shotgun, offering working hunters access to a well-made American side-by-side at a modest price point. Despite its classification as the lowest grade, it shared the same fundamental hammerless sidelock action as higher-grade models, differing primarily in its lack of engraving and more utilitarian finish. With over 57,000 produced, it became one of the most common L.C. Smith variants, reflecting its widespread appeal and practical design.

Mechanically, the No. 00 featured durable Armour Steel barrels designed to handle the increasing use of smokeless powder, paired with a simple but robust sidelock action known for its reliability. Standard configurations included double triggers, extractors (with optional automatic ejectors), and a checkered English walnut stock with a half-pistol grip. While it lacked the decorative flourishes of higher grades, the shotgun maintained solid construction, case-hardened components, and consistent performance in the field. Today, the No. 00 is appreciated as a historically significant working gun—valued less for embellishment and more for its role as a dependable, accessible example of classic American double-gun craftsmanship.
