Bob,
Your respect of the Lefever gun is honorable. But, I think you'll agree, this gun is not ever going to be accepted by the purists as a real Lefever. It's logical that it wouldn't be, since the lineage of the Lefever company is not the producer of this product. That doesn't make it lessor of a product, IMO. Just different.

In the objective view that this product is not a real Lefever, the makers of this product wouldn't be "changing" anything, but rather adopting the desireable characteristics of a Lefever, whether mechanical or aesthetics, and incorporating them into "their product". These will be Earle-Hurst actions with Lefever features. I'm sure they'll do their best to honor Dan, but it will be an Earle-Hurst product nonetheless. So, they won't be 'messing with' any original Lefevers.

I'm thrilled they are willing to pursue the project no matter how faithful to the original the outcome.
