I read an interview (early DG Journal I think) with English gunsmith John "Jack" Rowe in which he was asked what guns he worked on. After listing numerous English, European & American guns & rifles he commented: "L.C. Smith guns I don't want to know".

I don't say this to offend any L.C. Smith fans but along with their charm they do have their idiosyncrasies & it sounds like Jack's dry humor.
