What’s Included
- Hunter Arms L.C. Smith Field Grade Featherweight 20 Gauge side-by-side shotgun
The Featherweight frame is identified by the FW serial prefix, and the absence of an E in the serial indicates this example is configured with extractors rather than ejectors. This configuration, combined with the 20 Gauge chambering, offers a light, responsive field gun layout rooted in L.C. Smith design tradition.
The 26 inch side-by-side barrels wear a solid matted top rib and a doll's-head rib extension. Barrels are blued, while the receiver retains a casehardened finish. The action is a break-action sidelock, hammerless design with double triggers and a tang safety.
The stock set is walnut with a hand-checkered pistol grip and a splinter forend. This shotgun has a neutral grip and neutral cast to accommodate a wide range of shooters. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Capacity is 2 rounds. Mechanical notes provided indicate the top lever sits slightly right of center, barrel fit is good, and both the extractor and firing pins are in good order.
