That is a very nice find. I'm sure you're going to love that once you get it back.

That is a great find and a great project too. Very nice gun! I have a 12 gauge I grade and an early F grade 16 gauge that is a "future project"

I would not be refinishing those star Damascus barrels.

What a great gun! It looks like the PGCA has been hit with the "Lefever fever". Let's hope there is no cure.

I've seen those Star Damascus barrels also called "American Flag Bunting"
They're awful nice! What a great gun. .

Thanks for all of the compliments. I really like this gun. I had always wanted that star/flag damascus as well. If the rest of the barrels looked as good as they do underneath the forend I wouldn't think of having them refinished.
Look at these barrels pictures. This my opinion...but refinished barrels so that the star pattern really "pops", then refinished wood and a nice period recoil pad and this would be something special(at least to me...) I am impressed with the Lefever design as well. I might have to copy Mills and pick another one up in a 16 too |

You start looking at Lefever details and you can’t fail to be impressed. With this gun you have the adjustable hinge , adjustable forend , and lock off safety plus that fabulous American Flag Bunting Damascus.
The only problem with Lefevers is that not enough were made. Nice gun. Enjoy. |

Congrats on your first Lefever. I'd say you did really quite well. You don't see too many English grip Lefevers especially with pretty Damascus 32" barrels.
What is the LOP of this gun to the edge of the wood? On my computer it looks like the curve is still present at the end of the stock and someone added a pad and spacers to lengthen it. You might be able to put a repro LAC monogram butt plate on if the LOP is good enough for you. |
