I recently had an early 16g F grade Lefever sleeved down to 20g due to a blown out right tube. The gun was way too nice to throw away. So I made the choice put more into it than it was worth and get it done.
The smith that did it did an amazing job in matching the original contour of the barrels and the balance is perfect even after stepping down a gauge and keeping the same length. The gun is actually a little butt heavy now after putting a pad on it.
It is becoming a hell of a shooter.

I have a 12 gauge C grade lifter that the barrels had been clipped 2 inches and were badly pitted. I sent the barrels to Teague in England and had them Teague lined. Don't think they still do this work. It's a great gun, still 12 bore and choked IC/Mod.

I think Wesley Richards bought Teague and will still do the work.

No Rich, they bought Teague for the choke tubes they are not relining barrels. It was found that some of the relined barrels the adhesive let go between the barrels and the lining. And it was more then a few.
