The Lefever complicated??? Have you ever seen the guts of a Lefever, John? If you have, you would know that there is nothing complicated about this gun, thats what made the Lefever great, it adhered to that time honored principle of "K.I.S.S." or Keep It Simple Stupid.
Anybody with fitted turnscrews, a small brass punch, needlenose plyers and a small brass mallet can have a lever apart and in bits & pieces in under 10 minutes. The parts are big and robust and could be easily duplicated, the springs are very simple and there's not alot of complicated inletting in the stock area.
In my opinion, most of the cost in building a new Lefever would be in all the laborious hand finishing that a doublegun enthusiast demands. The gun itself is as simple as it gets.
Looky here, not too complicated...(dont mind the position of the sear/trigger springs, I accidently put them in upside down....even then..the gun worked just fine, go figure)
