Description:
This Lefever Model DS 12 gauge shotgun, which was manufactured in 1914, is properly restored to bring it back to a condition similar to it would have been after a couple of years of use by the original owner. This classic American shotgun is cast on 1/4" for the lefthanded shooter.
Its 28” fluid steel barrels are choked Skeet (.005) and Improved Modified (.025) and have 2-3/4” chambers. The condition of the bores is excellent, as lightly honed. The wall thickness (top/side/bottom) for the right barrel at 9” from muzzle is 028/.030/.035 and at the middle of the barrel is .032/.032/.033; the left barrel is .032/.035/.030 and .032/.033/.029, respectively. Bore diameter s 9” from the breach are .733/.735, respectively. The gun weighs 7 pounds. The drop at the comb is 1-5/8” and at the heel 2-5/8”. Length of pull from the front trigger to the end of the original butt plate is 14”. The gun locks up tight and on face; the top lever returns to the right of center. All serial numbers (71816) match.
The price does not include shipping paid by buyer. The inspection period is 7 days from receipt. This gun has been fired using standard factory 2-3/4” target loads. However, as for any vintage shotgun, especially one over 100 years old, it is recommended that the new owner have it inspected by a professional gunsmith before firing. The gun carries a 30-day warrantee, during which Back in Time will have any mechanical problems documented by a professional gunsmith repaired or accept the return of the gun and refund the price of the gun and the return shipping cost.
