Lefever E - Dogs in the clouds

[StubTwist]

Lefever E grade with ejectors. Gun was acquired from South Carolina who had it in a closet for over 40 years. It needed some serious help. As you can see from the before pics it rested upright and was heavily soaked with oil like a railroad tie. The stock was never cut having the original curve and the worn out pad was replaced with an original Lefever monogram butt-plate I purchased from a member on this board. The wood restoration and checker re-cut was done by Buck Hamlin who commented that how the oil was weeping from the grip cap. He also cleaned the action and checked for function. The Damascus barrels restored by Brad Bachelder. Case color is original.
