Lefever Nitro Special Choke Markings
Just acquired one 16 double with choke markings of 2 and 4 on the bottom of the Barrels. Nice appearing 1927 era gun. Might need to order spreader loads for this one but much lighter than my Parker.

My first double was my dad's 16 ga Nitro Special that he had V,L & A's in Chicago bore out to modified and improved cylinder. I was twelve when it turned up under the Christmas tree.
 It has a lot of drop in the stock.I've wound up with two twelves, that 16, a twenty and a .410 that needs a restock.

I dont know what it is with people calling the Nitro Special a Nitro "Express". There are multiple sellers at any given time on GB listing these guns this way. The word "Express" is not on these guns anywhere. So i wonder where it comes from.
Maybe it is some ultra rare varient made by Remington.

"Nitro Express" was Remington's progressive burning powder load from its introduction in the 1920s --
 into the 1930s when they got Kleanbore priming --  and by the mid 1930s the one-piece boxes --  When they switched to the red and green boxes it became the "Remington Express" loads --
