Maybe one of the mods or other folks a lot more knowledgeable than I could PM Frank and help him out? I think he has some things to say but there's an obvious disconnect somewhere ...

One thing that seems strange is when the side plates are removed there is no case color on the inside of the plates as on the underside of the fore end.

Gerald,
Dean Harris is the man. His word on the condition of yoir barrels is as good as it gets. Dont spend much on your gun, as H grades are very common. But they are as well made as an Optimus! Dan Lefever made guns are uniform in build quality, regardless of grade. As for the plates, I have never seen them case colored on the inside. Which does beg the question as to what his process was, as one would naturally have thought they'd have done it in parts. Nudge Last edited by Nick de Guerre; 04-08-2019 at 08:27 AM.. |

It was not me that called it a brush gun nor have I seen a catalog state that. The closest is that the catalog states that Lefevers cannot be equaled for “trap, field , brush and wild- fowl shooting.” P. 3.
Enjoy yours. The more you look , the more interesting they become and Lefever shooting qualities are special. Few 16’s of any grade were made . Bob Noble and Josh Lowensteiner here are true Lefever experts . I know some but they know more. |

Brush chokes on a Lefever catalog page cyl /imp cyl. Bruce I think you posted a catalog page that stated for brush. I can't find it again.

Bruce,
Lefever made more 16's than 10's. They are uncommon, but not rare. The difference is that most 16's were later guns, long after Dan was gone. And by then, few high grade guns in ANY caliber were made. So while 16's as a gauge are not rare, 16's in ANY grade higher than G grade, are. Most 10's were made in Dan's time, and all grades are well represented (sans later grades). NDG Last edited by Nick de Guerre; 04-08-2019 at 01:10 PM.. |
