I'll take one of my "Classic American" Lefever's over any gun with a frame that resembles a Cigar Box any day of the week, thank you. I will admit that I have a Birmingham built J P Clabrough "Sidelock", while not a "Best" by any stretch of the imagination is a very good shooter which I shoot exceptionally well. I have never measured its drop, but it was built I believe for the American market so does not seem that much straighter. It is one of the few guns I own with cast off most Americans seem to be straight. Of my several Lefevers I only have one on which the drop is excessive for me, & its a very late one, undoubtedly cobbled up at Ithaca. The rest I shoot as well as I shoot about anything.

I've always had a spot reserved for a good 20g Lefever. I may have to find a project gun and build it up to get one in good enough shape for my liking.

Re: "...oxymorons?" "... close hunting English Pointer" You got that part right! I've got 8 English Pointers and really only 1.5 of them is suitable for the Grouse woods.

I thought this entire thread was an oxymoron... +1 What started out as a thread on AMERICAN guns degenerated into something comparable to a couple of old women arguing over which laundry detergent is better. Does your wife use OXYdol or Tide jOe?

Yea, but you shoulda' been here last year when that one idiot was looking for contact info for Gene Hill, so he could chat about one of his guns. I think it was the same guy who didn't know anything about intercepting sears on boxlocks-You can't make this stuff up....
Best, Ted
