One of very few - Ithaca Lefever Model 4
Merry Chirstmas everyone!
I'd like to introduce my 12-gauge Lefever Nitro Model 4. I have only one pic on my phone and it's tough to take good ones outside right now with the snow cover. Briefly, it's called the Lefever Double Barrel Vent Rib Trap Gun. First ones were shipped in November 1929 (bad timing with the start of the Depression) and it only lasted a few years in that economy. Made with a special high-topped frame to transition to a flat and wide vent rib. Only 203 guns were made with 32-inch barrels and 37 with 30's. Mine is a 32 with double triggers. Ithaca also promoted them for long range waterfowl hunting and they had overbored barrels and super tight chokes (~50 thou) like the Super-Fox. Walt Snyder has an article on them titled The Elusive Ithaca in the Spring 2012 DGJ if you have that issue. I found this one in September. At some point I might do an article comparing the Lefever against the other special long range duck guns.
Here she is below a special "Super Twelve" Fox A with 32-inch/1-weight barrels and factory 3-inch chambers. That Hawkins pad was standard on the Model 4.
