      For sale is a Lefever C grade 10 gauge thumb push shotgun s/n 93XX with 2-7/8 chambers, extractors, bushed strikers and an extra pair of barrels, likely factory-fitted “E” grade.

      Keith Kearcher rebrowned the damascus barrels; lifted one large dent and some small ones; repaired the forend tip; and did a butt stock transplant that brought the LOP to 14-5/8, adding a repro butt plate. Case is after market with repro label.

      The original 30-inch barrels are oversize at .800 and are about modified and full with wall thickness 45-50 thou. Shorter barrels are .790 and choked cylinder and modified with a spot at 25 thou about 12 inches from the muzzle. The gun weighs just under 9 lbs with the longer barrels, and 8.3 lbs with the shorter barrels.

      Can’t figure out posting pix here please PM for pix.

      Price $3,950.

      Regards, Tim

      Basically, Mike, I am in the process of divesting various firearm and other holdings.  Imagine that the Lefever will be available later this year.  Having said all that, let me know what you have in mind for a trade.

      Regards, Tim

      I have a Fox CE that was redone by Brad Bachelder and Mark Beasland. Beautiful piece of wood and case coloring. Choked LM/LM in Fox full taper chokes. Gun is very nice and an excellent shooter. I can send pics if interested.

        Do not believe so, Mike, although the gun sounds stellar.  Stay in touch and we’ll see what’s what with the Lefever 10 gauge.

        Regards, Tim
