36 lpi is pretty crazy - that's like stipling!


Yes, you are right Ithaca5E, there is an awful lot of b.s. on this thread.

24-26 LPI Grade 5 standard as per Houchins L.C. Smith book and the ones I have worked on, pre or post 1913. Extra lines at extra cost, just like today...but 32 LPI shows as the max that the hardest Turkish Circassian wood would hold and Turkish Circassian was not standard on the Grade 5 gun.





24-26 LPI L.C. No. 5


24-26 LPI L.C. No. 5
