Kinda cool to find what you think was a junker (not that H Grade is anything fancy) but from a cosmetic sense and seeing it clean up into something decent. It is a 12 Guage so again if anyone has a V spring laying around, I could really use it... Battle... wanna trade?

What about a Boyd & Tyler, a Wesson, or maybe an Ethan Allen? Far more rare than a Lefever. DLH Last edited by MarketHunter; 09/30/08 02:32 PM.

Sorry for the trouble but could you see if he can pop the lock and see if it has the V spring on the hammer sear? I believe there are a few different ways that Lefever did this and I was told that some actually had working sidelocks. All of this H's are internal to the stock. The sideplate is only a cover in this case. Battle, If the future reply to my question above is positive for me and you and if you are interested in splitting the cost, let me know. You should still have my email? Last edited by kcordell; 09/30/08 09:22 PM.
