What would lead you to believe that the barrels are "replacements"? Do the serial numbers on the barrels and receiver not match?

Congrats, I've always wanted to find a nice Lefever, but of all the more common American made SxS's, they seem to be some of the hardest to find in good shooting condition, and still fall within my price range.

There are no numbers at all on the barrels that I can see. This, the short barrels with choke, raised flat rib and just a newer look make me think they are replacements. It looks like a bit of a Frankenstein gun although well done to my eye. It is a great shooter so far and came cheap! Thanks for all the great input as it is greatly appreciated!

Bob, you said the barrels are choked Mod & Full. As a student of Lefevers I'm wondering how you measured them and if you can post the bore and choke diameters for both tubes? Also are the chokes full tapered or is there a parallel section out to the muzzles? All of this can help you determine if the barrels are original Lefever production. Thanks!

I do not have a way to measure wall thickness or chokes other than a micrometer. I based the chokes on how they patterned at 40 yards. I will post some more pictures later today. Sorry for the late reply...work got in the way yesterday...
