It’s due to hit my FFL tomorrow afternoon. However, I’m headed to my fishing cabin today, so won’t have in hand til Monday.

Let me see if I can put up a couple of the sellers pics.

Anxious to get this in my hands. The seller reports that his Galazan drop in choke gauge stops at about 16 bore modified. This sucker must be “tighter than Dick’s hatband!”

Doubt it, Seller is an experienced collector, and claims he has shot this gun a fair it. He is the one that told me about the drop in gauge. Will n

Mark, she looks like a good find. Love those straight grippers but really any good honest Lefever is a cool gun and a step back in time. Syracuse Lefever 12-gauge guns have a wide range of bore diameters; hence a drop in choke gauge can read “off”. Using a good bore mike, the tightest 12 ga choke constriction in my spreadsheet is 39 points. JFI, the 16-gauge modified choke step on a Galazan brass choke gauge that’s handy here mikes about .648" diameter. Just sayin …..

Do I see turkey sights on this weapon. If so what will be your shell of choice? You fishing with the Red narrow spoon direct drive Abu I gave you? If so pour ice on your thumb!! Good Luck.

The Galazan drop in gauge is indeed handy...although I have not to date seen a 12 choked that tightly.

The good news is the gun appears correct, as there are quite a few straight stocked Lefever's around that were restocked to guns originally furnished with pistol grips. The trigger guard is the dead giveaway in such instances, as the straight variety should extend way down the underside of the stock...as yours does. On pistol grip guns the guard metal terminates under the lip of the grip cap on early guns, and in front of the cap on later guns.

This is a nice find, with the less common thick butt plate. Congrats.
