The one I held was in Keith Kearcher's shop. He likes Lefevers. He is also a big Parker guy.

Thanks Bruce for the screw info as I as of yesterday am looking at an EE grade. If just turning screws will take care of the looseness then it is even more interesting. It looks original and not to bad except for a pacmyer pad and a swvil loop on the barrel that look original. Gerald.

Be aware that there are two different types of screws for the Lefever barrel hinge/pivot ball. One type requires a spanner of sorts with two pins that fit into the ball. They have to be tough and fit properly. Most of the Lefever owners say that the pivot balls in their guns were usually VERY tight. My other Lefever had a slotted ball, that was also very tight. The threads are tapered.
