The L.C. Smith Gun Company was founded in 1880 in Fulton, New York, by Lewis and William Smith. Initially focused on producing high-quality, side-by-side shotguns, the company quickly gained a reputation for craftsmanship and innovation. Their shotguns were well-regarded for their reliability, accuracy, and elegant designs, appealing to both hunters and sportsmen.
