I have seen some nasty things said about the Lefever Nitro Special and its cousin the Western Arms gun. I have a few of these old guns and find them to be very good field guns. While they are not beautifully engraved and don't have fancy grade wood, they seem to work very well and the workmanship is more than acceptable to me.
I have one made in 1922, that had a diet of shells including lots of high brass 1 1/4 loads. ( my grandpa didn't know any better)It's still tight and going strong. I only use 1 oz loads.
I like you comments, to see what I might be missing.
Thanks
