At one time, I felt that the LACA was a helpful and informative resource. As time went on, I found it to be a waste of time and money. The current leadership has been running things for far too long. And like most collectors organizations, I believe they are a vehicle for a few select insiders to get first dibs at collectible guns that surface when inquiries are made by uninformed heirs etc. I've gotten more good information about Lefever guns right here, and from other sources. There is a lot of obvious misinformation about Lefever guns that has been repeated for decades, partly due to a lack of surviving factory records. I found LACA to be almost useless to correct that unfortunate situation. Find a Double Gun Journal index and reader and use your money to buy back issues containing Lefever articles, and you'll get much more for your money. Just my opinion.
