I like it when Murphys Law is frustrated. My experience only, but, Lefevers frustrate Murphys Law, LC Smiths do not.
Those between the wars English and Continental boxlocks do a good job frustrating Murphys Law, But, you expose yourself to Murphys wrath if you get em in single trigger and/or ejector versions. Not an issue with a Darne.
Those guns the Kings used really dont belong along with me, hunting in the Dakotas, or Minnesota. Laughably out of place. Plus, Im an oaf. Scratch here and there, in spite of myself.
But, they are really nice guns. The people who bought them typically paid the manufacturer to exorcise Murphys demons out of them, annually.

Best,
Ted
