Lefever Arms upland gun - first outing

[todd allen]

Beautiful gun, Frank. I'm kinda surprised that in all my years of buying, shooting, hunting, and collecting of side by side guns, the Lefever has alluded me. I've always heard, from those more knowledgeable than I, that the Lefever is/was the finest American made double. I don't know, and don't want to get in the weeds here, but I would love to spend some time with a specimen, and find out for myself.
BTW, good shooting, Frank! Wish we lived close enough to give you a challenge. I've got an underlifter (with Perazzi dimensions) that I occasionally shoot lights out with.

The 30" Lefever that Pete mentioned is truly light for a ten. However, my 28" 7 pound, 4 ounce ten probably sets the record for a light Lefever. It also has original fluid steel barrels, the only Lefever of that configuration to surface. Very high grade Lefevers with fluid steel are known, but only a very few. My 28" gun measures out a very common modified and full.
