Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
Lefever E grade with ejectors. Gun was acquired from South Carolina who had it in a closet for over 40 years. It needed some serious help. As you can see from the before pics it rested upright and was heavily soaked with oil like a railroad tie. The stock was never cut having the original curve and the worn out pad was replaced with an original Lefever monogram butt-plate I purchased from a member on this board. The wood restoration and checker re-cut was done by Buck Hamlin who commented that how the oil was weeping from the grip cap. He also cleaned the action and checked for function. The Damascus barrels restored by Brad Bachelder. Case color is original.

it amazes me how good those case colors are and how they stand out..the e grade was a knockout...i just dont see how got a gun colors to look so good.. charlie
That is one beautiful gun. can I shoot it, please. I finally got my hands on an old lefever that needs some TLC. Hope it turns as nice as yours. The wood on yours is awesome.That would be hard to duplicate. congrats, Dave
Really nice, I just picked up a F lefever as a project gun, your pictures get me excited about what it could be. The engraving on Lefevers seem to be really variable. When I was looking for a project some of the older Es and Fs have alot less engraving than the later ones. I think they kept adding models at the bottom G, then H then I then DS and as they did they upgraded the engraving on the E, and Fs makes pricing them based on grade a little tricky. Thanks for pics
