My FE grade Lefever has been my go to gun for the past 48 yrs. Has never failed me in this time. When I first bought it I was not at that point willing to shoot damascus so had a new set of barrels made for it in Italy of Bohler steel. They are choked .012" & .024". Still have the original bbls for it, did not sacrifice them for parts for the new ones.By varying the loads from light 1oz loads up to the 3 3/4-1Ľ loads I have killed quail, a few woodcock, rabbits, squirells, some ducks & a couple of turkeys with it.
Personally I am rather proud of the part American gunmakers played & the guns they put in the hands of ordinary people. Even my lowly H grade Lefevers all perform great & they are all obviously (Except one Ithaca assembled one) at least 100 yrs old. Have not seen any A&D actioned gun of like price range I would trade a one of these for.
