I recently had an early 16g F grade Lefever sleeved down to 20g due to a blown out right tube. The gun was way too nice to throw away. So I made the choice put more into it than it was worth and get it done.
The smith that did it did an amazing job in matching the original contour of the barrels and the balance is perfect even after stepping down a gauge and keeping the same length. The gun is actually a little butt heavy now after putting a pad on it.
It is becoming a hell of a shooter.
