Don.. Your absolutely correct.. I should have said a great gunsmith that knows his way around the old Lefever - Nitro.

Rockdoc. I live in Eastern NE. That would be great if you could get me a few names of good gunsmiths.

Possumhunter. I have all the parts. I had the gunsmith break down the action (restoration effort) and now he doesn't know how to get the gun back together again. (shake head).

Thanks to all again
