![]() ![]() The barrels on your gun are a nice pattern welded type (Damascus) so no gunsmith will tell you its safe to shoot it. The fore arm is a classic splinter type fore arm on most LC's, so its easy to carve. The LC's I have worked with are well fitted guns and locked up tight. If it fits properly on the hinge joint, it will be as tight as the other joints in the metal work. The steel piece you have is designed to snap tightly against the bottom of the barrel, and pull away with moderate force applied to the tip of the wooden for arm. It should just snap in place with the snail shell spring resting against the lug on the bottom of the barrel. You should be able to test fit the iron parts and see if it will work. The part you bought from Numrich looks like what I have seen on other LC Smiths, but I am no LC expert and the only ones I have handled are the newer internal hammer variety. They were one of the better American made shotguns in that era.
