Absolutely. I have a 12g. DS that is a total lightweight. It is a 28" gun that weighs 6 lbs. 10oz. and that is with a silvers pad on it.
I have seen at least one 12g. that was on a XX frame in the past. But I do not have any details on it.

Years ago Keith Kearcher had an article in DGJ showing a lightweight Lefever that the barrel had a bulge because so thin. Bobby

Not a 12 bore but a 10 that I passed on due to a piece of wood missing on the "horn" of the stock up top that goes around the side plate / upper tang.
Early E grade with 30" barrels 7.5 oz . Gun was in the Mid West so it was probably just light enough for long walks used to hunt the fields and prairies but with a little bit more payload of lead with a short 10. |

My ten gauge G grade 28" steel barrel gun weighs just over seven pounds. It is alone in its rarity, but a wonderful gun to carry in the grouse woods. My little Sauer steel barrel ten, 6 pounds, 4 ounces, is also a handy carry in the woods.

All of the sub-7 pound Lefever sideplates I have are either 16 or 20 gauge or have cut barrels. That does not mean that there aren't any factory original sub-7 pound 12 gauge guns out there, just that they are not common. I too have "heard" of 12 gauge guns on "XX" frames, but do not own one.

When I originally posted the Lefever lightweight 12-bore question here a few months ago, I was curious to see if there were many Lefevers like the lighter GE 12 I've had for many years. Below are a couple photos, and there are many more images posted where I have recently listed this gun on the PGCA for-sale section. Best, Chris _______________________________________ |
