Jeff: I think we have all done that at a younger age. I can remember back to a couple i should have kept but then i became a pack rat and keep just about anything gun related. Thomas

Buck Hamlin is the name I see most often when discussing Lefever repairs/restoration. I have seen some awesome wrist repairs and full restorations from his shop. Thomas, have you fired your Lefever yet? My 'G' Grade was also my first Damascus gun. Buck told me (with a chuckle) that the barrels would handle anything I stuck in them. I ran a box of Polywads through it and had a blast! I never thought much about buying and shooting a composite barreled gun, but now I am quite comfortable with the idea! If I had to choose between my RBL and my Lefever, I would take the Lefever for its balance, LOP, drop at the heel, and that neat rib. I love my Parkers, but they are 10 pound Lifters and in a different class than my Syracuse Lefever. Enjoy!

Mark: I have not got around to shooting my Lefever but i enjoy just looking at the gun. I have to many irons in the fire. I should probably just sell it to someone who will finish it and let them enjoy it. thomas
