Great deal on a double.
Just got in a 20Ga L.C. Smith Double. This is the one Marlin had made out of country. CDNN had the listed for $999 but when I called they were on sale for $899.
This is one really nice shotgun. Yes I know it is not a real Elsie but it is nice. The blue and case colors are perfect. The wood is at least AAA fancy and the checkering is excellent. I can't find any flaws in the inletting. It has selective ejectors, which I like and a non selective single trigger which I can live with. These were supposed to retail for around $1700 and probably worth that but at $900 it is a steal. |

Our GS here....
had them for around 799 on clearance last year and I kick myself for not getting one - they had the O/U's for 699! Who did Marlin have make them?

oneounceload.
Just a hearty high ho who cares. It is an exceptionally well constructed side by side, balances well and is great looking. I don't care to quibble over the L.C. Smith logo. I know it's a Fausti. It's still a bargain for $900 bucks. Of course it would have been more of a bargain for $800 but Oh Well. |

I was merely stating to the other poster where they were made - there was nothing in my post regarding comments of build quality - get over it
Sounds like you got a nice gun and now that Fausti has an operation over here, you should be able to get parts and servicing when it needs it Have a nice day |
