Trying to find the value of an LC Smith Field Grade 16 Gauge Side by Side shotgun made in 1924. Looks to be in good condition. Thanks for any assistance.

    I have an old LC Smith sidelock hammerless double that appears to have damascus patterns on the barrels but they look like fluid steel and are not nearly as thick as the twist barrels I have seen. Does anyone know if this is true Damascus and whether I can cut this gun for cowboy shooting?

    100 years is not the cutoff in 1968 gun control act set a date of 1898 but that DID NOT change in 1969[:(!][:(][xx(] to the year 1899 so the law still reads over 20 years later that 1898 is the cut off date. Your LC SMITH can be shipped to a holder of a C&R lic.

    Yes, it must still go through a FFL. All firearms must go through or be shipped to an FFL unless they are classified as an "Antique" per federal code.

    Per U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, Section ?921, paragraph (16), an "Antique" firearm is defined as follows;

    (16) The term "antique firearm" means-

    (A) any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; or

    (B) any replica of any firearm described in subparagraph (A) if such replica-

    (i) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or

    (ii) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade; or

    (C) any muzzle loading rifle, muzzle loading shotgun, or muzzle loading pistol, which is designed to use black powder, or a black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "antique firearm" shall not include any weapon which incorporates a firearm frame or receiver, any firearm which is converted into a muzzle loading weapon, or any muzzle loading weapon which can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof.

    "All firearms must go through or be shipped to an FFL "..........not quite true, you can still sell face to face in most states and sell/ship to someone in you own state in a few states. if you sell to someone in another state a post 1898 firearm mus be shipped to a receiving ffl (either a 01 or 03 ffl in your case).
