Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The LC Smith Field Grade is a classic American side-by-side shotgun that embodies understated craftsmanship, practical field performance, and the elegant mechanical design that made L.C. Smith doubles famous among sportsmen. Manufactured during the golden age of American shotgun production by Hunter Arms Company in Fulton, New York, the Field Grade represented the entry-level offering in the L.C. Smith lineup, yet it was built with the same fundamental action and attention to mechanical integrity as the higher-grade models. Central to its appeal is the L.C. Smith’s distinctive true sidelock design, with lockplates mounted to the side of the receiver rather than a boxlock system, allowing for a slim, lively profile and exceptionally smooth trigger pulls. Typically offered in gauges such as 12, 16, and 20, the Field Grade commonly features fluid-steel barrels, extractors rather than ejectors, and modest yet tasteful engraving limited to simple borders and the maker’s markings. Stocks were usually American walnut with straight or pistol grips, checkered for secure handling, and shaped to balance naturally between the hands—qualities that made the gun quick to mount and instinctive on flushing birds. In the field, the LC Smith Field Grade earned a reputation for durability and shootability, with barrels that patterned well using traditional loads and an action that locked up tightly when properly maintained. While it lacks the ornate engraving and upgraded wood of higher-numbered grades, the Field Grade’s honest finish, robust construction, and graceful handling have made it a favorite among upland hunters and collectors who value function over flash. Today, a well-preserved LC Smith Field Grade stands as a tangible link to America’s sporting heritage, offering both historical significance and the timeless pleasure of carrying a balanced, responsive double gun afield.
