Why didn’t the guy just fix what was broke, clean it, lubricate it, and use it the way it was?

Did you or Ed Landers have anything to do with this gun, ed? Looks like your handiwork.

Best,
Ted

That is something we don't see every day... fiddleback wood and fiddleback metal.

The seller of this gun has bought and sold enough Syracuse Lefevers to know those aren't original Lefever case colors. But the only thing that may stop someone from bidding on it is the Reserve price that is way too high for an H Grade in that condition. The wood is pretty nice for an H Grade, except for that repaired stock finger. A couple other Lefevers currently listed are essentially scrap metal and firewood, hardly worth even the shipping cost.

If nothing else, it will be interesting to watch this Thread for attacks on a prominent member here, by people who also complain about personal attacks.

Most of the times, the so-called Doll's Head lock-ups (named after a certain Mister Doll, I was told, not after a child's dear toy?) do not really bear and lock anyhow.

But even when keeping this in mind, it is rare to see such a *wide* gap that Colonel Hathi and his whole jungle patrol could march through it in order, trumpetting loudly...
