Thanks, George-and others- The stock is too short and too much drop-but he also had a few L.C. Smiths 12 gauge sidelocks- and I liked the lines of the LeFever better-but I have never owned a sidelocked or sideplated action (if that is the Uncle Dan style) double- only boxlocks- so _"Fools rush in maybe" but Foxes usually circle a few times and check the wind- thanks for the "starting pointers'- we shall see!!
