Yes he is. We talked for over 45 minutes and he solved the problem over the phone. As I stated above.... Not just The Master but a real nice guy.
He took an interest in the gun and we discussed the "transition" guns, from my dates, of which mine is one. We also talked about Damascus barrels etc.

Can you please explain the procedure for locking the safety off. The explanation in Elliott's book is not very clear. I need to lock my safety off because it is very stiff when operated manually. Thanks.

There is a small screw in your tang below the top lever. Hold the top lever to the right and turn that screw counter clock wise and it will engage the roller sear to the point of holding the safety slide in the rear position locking the safety off. I think that is correct from what he told me today. Just a reminder which I am sure you know... Now your safety is locked off like on a pigeon gun. The gun is in the fire position. If you cant get that to work call Mr. Hamlin....

Thanks so much. My Lefever has been on the bench for a week trying to get oil under the safety slide. A non automatic or inoperative safety will solve the problem.

Bruce, I don't know if you fixed this yet. The gun looks to have been restored so it's been apart and put back together. Sometimes the trigger plate will be snugged down too much. This puts the triggers too tight to the safety, not allowing the safety to slide back and forth freely. I've skimmed metal from triggers or the safety to correct this. Best to take the stock off, and reassemble receiver, and check the operation of the safety. I've done this with Smith and Lefever safetys many times. Just a thought? Buck Hamlin is the man to help though.
