Ken, I think you've chosen well with the monoblock design. It should allow for precise machining of the dollshead if that feature is included.
Did you mean that the breachface of the monoblock and barrel tubes would also be laser welded? If not, some method of sealing the joint at the tube/monoblock on the breachfaces should be considered to prevent moisture intrusion.
A parting thought: Did you and Steve consider threading the barrels into the monoblock like a rifle?

Why is it that if an individual buys the name of a famous British gunmaker and again starts making guns, possibly with out workers, that many U.S. buyers swoon and beat a path to his door with a fistful of bucks? The bottom line, I believe, still is - a rose by another name is still a rose. Obviously a recognized name is very important; however, the design and quality of the finished product will always speak volumns for itself.

Oganza, I would certainly appreciate your generous help with this question --- don't want to get in trouble.
Chuck, the dollshead is in ! I feel the tubes would be best served if they were lazer welded for and aft --- stronger and no joint line. Ken

Chuck, how about the "Lefever Legacy Edition?" "H. Lefever" also sounds good. I'm sure there's all kinds of derivative names that would work if "Lefever Arms Co." proves problematic.

Ken,
Started a thread entitled, "Intercepting Sears" that has garnered some good comment that may help inform on the issue.
Regards, Tim

Ken, I know the patents are public domain at this point. I'll start looking into the trademark issues. I should have a pretty good idea what the answer is in a week or two.
Are you planning to start a company to own/control any of this or is it going to be a true guild style project? It may be necessary for someone to start a corporation in order to trademark whatever name you decide on.

I wasn't intending on anything other than putting this project on it's feet. After it was running smoothly, I was going to back away and let the other guys do their collective thing together --- they wouldn't need me. If there was any need for me in the future, I would of course be happy to help. Steve Earle is Inc. and could handle the Co. name. --- I will bring it up with him. Thanks again, Ken

Gentlemens:
Allow me to toss in a couple pennies on this name thing.
I dislike the idea of any name that implies "imitiation" or "reproduction". Parker Reproduction is an example. I would include titles like "Legacy" or "Edition" as well. We are talking about a fine shotgun here, so why name it like it is a cheap Japanese copy? It deserves a simple, dignified name.
If the rights could be obtained them the original "Lefever Arms Co." sounds fine, though is not exactly honest. "Hurst Levfever" would be honest and a dignified name of its own. Under that heading would be any of a number of combinations:
H. Levefer H. E. Lefever Earle Lefever E. Lefever E. H. Lefever.
W. W. Greener did not build guns under the name of W. Greener Legacy Arms.
FWIW, to my ear E. H. Lefever has the best ring to it, with H. E. a close second.
