It has a needed small repair that my wood guy says is an easy fix and we are good to go. I bring it home from "lock up" Friday then its off for the repair while I try and find some low pressure loads for it. That sounds like it may be more difficult then the repair.

I am really excited as this is my second Lefever and first graded one.

They are all graded. This one is mid-grade. Straight stocks are uncommon...this is a good find.

Thanks Nick. I realize they are all graded so thats my bad. I should have said and this one has engraving.

Have a great day.

Nice gun, Bruce! What gauge is yours? The barrels look pretty thick, is it a 10? I have a Lefever 16 EE I really love, maybe my favorite. I haven't figured out why but Lefever ejector guns are the easiest closing/recocking after firing of them all. What are your bores like condition wise and what are your chokes? I'd buy RST shells for low pressure loads for your gun.

What’s not to like about a nice Lefever like that? WOW!!

I get why the hardest part might be getting low-press ammo with the shortages these days and RST being on a hit or miss production and order fulfillment rate.

Keep the faith.

Jeffery et al: The gun is 12 ga. with 27.5 inch cut back barrels, choked skeet and skeet, with two triggers. There is a bit of a thing with a minor crack in the wrist that my wood guy says is an easy fix. Weighs in at 7lbs 9oz. Certainly not a field gun but a nice skeet gun and perhaps a short walk woodcock gun.

I had an EE Grade 20 gauge Lefever and they cock and close so smoothly! Bobby
