EARLY 8 GAUGE LEFEVER ARMS E GRADE WATERFOWLING GUN.

SN 12635. Cal. 8 ga. 33-3/4″ Damascus bbls have flat matted game rib. Bottom of left bbl is marked “C 12635”. Early compensating action with opposed fishhook extractor system and pivoting top lever with sliding bolt, features automatic safety, bushed strikers, pin type cocking indicators, and double triggers. Action has only borderline engraving, and lockplates are marked “LEFEVER ARMS CO”. Trigger plate has a last patent date of ’87. SN is on tang of trigger guard which extends to fluted hard rubber grip cap. Dense, lightly stump figured European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-3/8″ over checkered composition buttplate. Point pattern checkering with line borders is at grip. Matching splinter forend with metal tip has push-button release. Bore diameter: left -.840, right -.860. Bore restrictions: left -.105, right -.130. Minimum wall thickness: left -.060, right -.058. Drop at heel: 3-3/4″, drop at comb: 2-1/8″. Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz. LOP: 14-3/8″. CONDITION: Good. Bbls retain traces of orig Damascus finish under considerable oxidation and freckling, some of which could possibly be removed. Action retains traces of orig case hardening color, where protected, but has oxidation similar to that on bbls, and is generally brown patina. Stocks retain a considerable amount of their orig finish, considerably darkened and stained, and with light scratches, rubs, and marks, a few a bit heavier. Checkering at grip is lightly worn. Forend checkering is considerably worn from normal carrying wear. Lock and tang screws show use and peaning. There is a small chip at front portion of grip cap. Bores are fair, fairly shiny, but with considerable pitting throughout. Action is tight, and bbls on face with opening lever held in battery. Spring is a bit weak and will not fully activate lever, so bbls feel loose. A new spring should put this right. Large bore Lefevers are extremely rare. 4-54008 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2613
