Agreed the straight grip Lefevers are pretty rare. I have only owed a few. A 20 ga. XX frame straight grip would be a gem.
The 2 straight grips I have for sale in the classified section are original long tang styles. I had not ever seen a short tang straight grip gun until this post. What about the the idea that they were originally pistol or semi-pistol stocks that were sent back to Lefever to convert to straight grips?
The fluting in the stock comb also seems to be fade with later serial # guns. I have seen some late E's with out it.
