Friends,
I thought it would be of interest to provide some additional pictures of this terrific Lefever Arms Company G grade gun! Please see Dr. Bob Decker's post for information on purchasing tickets. Your support of the Lefever Arms Collectors Association is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks Ken. A great example that anyone can acquire for a mere five bucks.

[Randy G Roberts]

Thanks fellas, just sent my donation in...

[Stan Hoover]

Ken,

forgive me if I missed it, are these case colors original I would guess?

If they have been redone, who would have done them, it is beautiful.

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
Thank you for that question, here's what we know about the gun:

Brian found it originally and removed a wooden butt extension and pad that detracted from an otherwise very attractive gun and made for an unnaturally long LOP. The buttstock had been previously refinished, but lightly so and the details were preserved in the typical areas that generally get wiped out when done by a less than skillful hand. Brian did nothing to the buttstock other than fit an new period appropriate pad. Mechanical work included replacement of a cocking indicator & spring and one weak trigger spring. He feels the case colors, barrel finish and forend are all original. This is an excellent example of a G grade seldom seen in anything near this condition!

Let's see if we can sell out all 1000 tickets this year!

Best,
Ken

The gun will be available for hands on viewing at the Southern SxS in Sanford, NC in April, at the Northeast SxS at Hauseman's in Friendsville, Pa in June, and at the Vintager's Cup in Wellsville, Pa in September where we plan to pull the wining ticket.

:smiley7: Just a brief reminder that if you haven’t purchased tickets for the 2024 Lefever raffle gun, and you are attending the Southern SxS this week, make sure you stop by the LACA table. The tickets are moving fast this year, and it’s best to act now!

When you purchase tickets using PayPal, do they mail you paper tickets or are they electronic tickets. I asked because two years ago I purchased tickets using PayPal and I never received any paper tickets so I took for granted I was in the drawing anyway.

[Ken Snyder]

Hi Angel,
In general the ticket stubs are mailed to the addressee upon PayPal payment, however, if the mailing address is not included in the message at time of payment there is no way to know where to send the stubs. Rest assured that in that case the ticket ends with your info will be included in the bucket for the drawing!

Please let me or Dr. Bob Decker know if you have any additional concerns.

Thank you for your support!
Ken

Thanks Ken.

Please note that our presence at the Vintager's Cup is tenuous at best this year as we had a number of problems with the event last year. We are planning on attending the Northern Side by Side at Rock Mountain in August instead. So, don't wait until the Vintager's to buy tickets. Because of the quality of the gun this year tickets are sell faster than normal. We appreciate your support.

It really is a beautiful example of a Lefever.

I heard this morning that Chris Schotz is the 2024 raffle gun winner.

[Mike Koneski]

RIGGED!! BWAHAHAHA!

[Bob Decker]

Mike, If we were going to rig it the winner wouldn't have been Chris. It would have been somebody much more deserving, like you!:-)

[Mike Koneski]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Bob, as Bartles & James used to say, “ Thank you for your support.”
