The stock has been carved out on the left side so a right hander can conveniently shoot it. This modification may have been done when the gun was built. No claim was made that Brad did any of this work except the barrels. He surely had nothing to do with the pathetic leather covered pad. Anyone who covets a Lefever should have been at this weekend's Baltimore Show. I could have bought ten of them that met my standards of both price and condition.
