Thanks for all of the compliments. I really like this gun. I had always wanted that star/flag damascus as well. If the rest of the barrels looked as good as they do underneath the forend I wouldn't think of having them refinished.
Look at these barrels pictures. This my opinion...but refinished barrels so that the star pattern really "pops", then refinished wood and a nice period recoil pad and this would be something special(at least to me...)
I am impressed with the Lefever design as well. I might have to copy Mills and pick another one up in a 16 too
