Got the gun, definitely better than the sellers pics. My pics are not great either.
My Galazan drop in will not allow the 12 gauge section to enter the barrels at all, close, but still too tight to even wedge it into either, the left tube is ever so slightly tighter than the right. The bores are a little better than decent, and ring perfectly, all 32” of them. There is evidence of a dent removal about 6” from the bore. Gun weighs a hefty 9lbs6oz, and chambers are 2 7/8” Very happy...super honest gun that has not been screwed with!

Nice gun! Looks all original.
Great find! And with it choked that tight it's a turkey slayer for sure. I once owned a steel barreled G similarly proportioned, but with pistol grip. I had sent it to Buck Hamlin for trigger work in the month of March, JUST before MO turkey season. I never saw the gun again. Buck is a willful man. *s* NDG |

Gotta love any gauge with a straight grip especially a 16. Have a nice LeFever straight grip 16 myself. Congrats on a nice gun.

Congrats on the Lefever! 9 1/2 lbs! Wow. Love the straight grip. i saw this gun too online but I already spent my gun budget on a nice little Lefever 20 gauge with 30" barrels.

Nice find! Lefever made a great gun. I love all of Uncle Dan's iterations and quirks. If he wanted something different he just did it. The "Full Compensating Action" was brilliant.
