I have a LeFever F that was missing the front bead but the original aged midbead was intact. I bought the NECG mammoth bead. Chucked it in a dremel and sanded it down to reasonable size. New, they are mammoth, like a marble on the end of your barrel. I swabbed it with a Qtip with Gale Locke American walnut stain until it was close to the midbead shade. If you go too far, you can swab it with denatured alcohol to lighten. Then buffed it with carnuba wax. That’s one way to do it.
