Lefever Restoration
In October 2018 a dear friend the "Legend" shared with me he wished his son could bird hunt with him using a side X side instead of a tube-a-matic. Clint (son) shoots left handed. Previously I had owned a left handed Lefever which been converted from a right hand gun. So the hunt begin for a 12 gauge Lefever which could be redone. The following gunsmiths worked on the Lefever H Grade:
Parker Bachelder: refinished the barrels
Stephan Waltz: trigger conversion
Jerry Andrews: casehardening
Brit Hall: bent the stock for left handed shooter
Chris Robenalt: recoil pad, checkering and polished out the stock
The Lefever was given to Clint at his dad's birthday party in October and he successfully hunted Pheasant and Sharptail. Gun was not completely finished as the casehardening had to be done and recoil pad added to achieve the appropriate length of pull.
I believe the gun is stunning and hopefully Clint will hunt for years with his dad and the with his sons with the gun.
PS: Total cost of purchasing the Lefever and all the restoration work was
$ 2,200.00
