Be sure to send updated pics when that is done. Who are you going to send the barrels to?


I'm not sure yet. Probably Buck Hamlin or Keith Kearcher. I'm open to other possibilities too however.

No worries Rick, I've got that covered. I still have my Husky and I've got another 16 in the works that I'm hoping to turn into a custom show piece.

Mark,

That is a great looking gun. I sometimes wish mine was a straight stock also. I showed off your work to my family and friends over labor day weekend. The were all stunned at the results. We would make a great looking pair in the field.

Mark,

Do you have a pic of the ribbed butt after refinish? Did you recut it or leave as is? I am still kicking myself for not pulling the buy it now trigger on this gun- I had several questions for the seller and was probably reading the e-mail with answers when you bought it.

You could have saved some money if you'd let Ed Good do the CCH.

I'm sure you're right! Our guns might look good together too.

Wow, I'm glad I pulled the trigger when I did then. I know what that's like though. I knew someone would snatch it soon if I didn't. I did re-cut the butt a bit, but not extensively. It does look better now:



As a special order gun with a 24xxx serial #, Uncle Dan apparently saw no need to stamp the grade on the frame either:

Here is one of its cousins -- another Lefever GE, this one with steel barrels. The case colors are older, and not as spectacular.
