John, after I posted my question about LeFevers, a friend who is knowledgeable in LeFevers called me and answered all my questions. Not wanting to leave the issue open, I deleted my post.

These LeFevers are mechanically interesting and some are very well done. Others have a decided "clunker" feel to them and I don't know enough to avoid the clunker issue except by having the gun in hand.

I don't know what an "xxxxpert" is and I have not seen the word before.

Default Lefever double

I agree on the lack of "clunkership" in the pictures. As I have posted before, I am enamored with A.H. Fox doubles and Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles as well as Parkers and have learned to love them all equally. But, in the back of my aging and sometimes confused brain, I have had a longing for one of the few Whitworth barreled Lefevers made but never have found one I could afford without getting rid on an example of one of the above mentioned pieces. Lee.

Nathan, thanks for sharing the info on your Lefevers. They are gorgeous! I have been inside one of these and they are very smooth and beautifully finished in the higher grades particularly. Now I know I will keep looking for the"right" one. Thanks again! Lee.

I had a 12 gauge "G" grade once that weighed slightly over 7 lbs. that was exceptionally thick at the breech. Great guns and much better looking than that other American-made sidelock (I know, Lefevers are boxlocks). They all seem to have better than average wood too.
