what grade is the Lefever, must be a pretty early one to be a true sidelock. I have an early DE that is a true sidelock... can't recall when they switched to having side plates but ultimately box locks.

It's a DS grade from 1912. It was 1921 when Ithaca came out with the Nitro Special, which was the box lock Lefever. Ithaca actually bought them in 1916 and assembled the remaining side lock stock from what I've read. I never cared much for the look of the Nitro Special, kind of clubby. I guess they were a pretty tough gun but very utilitarian.

I did read and saw a picture once of a box lock that Dan Lefever made. It was a beautiful gun. I'll have to look around to see if I can find that article.

I was thinking that even the sideplated guns made before Ithaca were not true sidelocks less the earliest ones. Maybe around the same time they changed the barrel hook. I could be way off base.... should look at a later GE that I have.

Okay, I'll show you a couple of my 'pawn shop rescue' guns. Here are a pair ( a brace?) of 16 gauges shotguns that I recently took out for a little clay target shooting. One is a Remington Model 11 Sportsman and the other a Savage Model 755A. The latter holds the distinction of being the heaviest shotgun I own; it has to weigh close to 9 pounds.

They are keeping better company nowadays!

Nice, who did the stock work?

Release; you have my sincere sympathy. Horrible affliction. smile

As an aside, if that K Gun doesn't hit 9 pounds it is damned close.

Took the last two Model 12's I've acquired out for some clays today with the oldest son working the thrower. Picked up the 12 on the left about 3 weeks ago. 30" full 12 ga. Mfg in 1921. Middle 12 is a 28" full 12 ga. Mfg in 1934. Picked it up last week. The double is my trusty old Husqvarna.

Hard to beat a pump in a Model 12.

Just recently picked up another 16Ga from a local Fire member.
