Miller, please edit your last two posts to remove my name. It is not I whom you are replying to. Jim Legg is the poster who questioned your experience with Lefevers, not I. I don't want you or the other readers to think that I disagree with your posts. We are on the same wavelength while Jim Legg seems to be a bit off course. Jim Legg is the poster who implied that you had never seen a Lefever.
Done; & with by most humble appoligies. I have no idea how I managed to read Jim's post as yours.
Jim;
I understood you were speaking of removing the entire assembly in which you would of course be right, the bbls would fall open. I just wanted to make certain everyone fully understood the reason would be because of the removal of the bolting notch, not from the DH removal.
You are absolutely correct on the Lefever safety. It is not an auto/manual but an auto/non safety. I have for years felt this was the best solution to the safety controversity. Much of our actions we do by rote/habit. With this safety simply lock it out for targets, where a safety is not really needed, & when going afield with the same gun unlock it. If used enough in both capacities one will probably at some point lose a shot at game from forgetting to push it. but this has nowhere near the possibilities of forgetting at some point to "Set" it.
