I don't have as many guns as do some of you guys. But I have two nice Parkers, a GH and an SBT. I also have a very fine Lefever I grade gun made in 1901 when Old Dan was still in the business of making guns. She a faux sidelock is plain as mud. The "I" grade was the one you'd find in the local hardware store. She was refurbished by a pro, but not brought back to new. Here she is:
This gun is a 12 with 30" barrels, F&M. Long and thin and quick to swing. These Lefevers are very nice shooting guns. Yes, they changed as time passed, but these early guns are my favorites. I'd like to have a G grade damascus gun.
When I consider buying a new Parker to shoot an I pick up this Lefever I figure that I already have a wonderful, fast, classic hunting gun.
