Ken, two days ago, I posted about my dream of someone re-making the Lefever with modern materials as an improvement on the original. Hallelujah, Dreams do come true! Your project is a practical and innovative amalgam of customer-focused ideas, with one exception: You MUST make it available with 16ga. barrels on the 20ga. frame. Upland hunters will be buying the gun. Give them what they want. There is no shortage of 20 bores available, but very few 16's. The 16 is simply more bang for the buck, especially for western hunters that encounter a wide variety of birds, and it can be built on the same frame as the 20. My 16b. is built on the 20ga. xx frame, so I don't see why it couldn't work. Please give it some serious consideration. We 16'ers would come out in droves, believe me. As for myself, I might be able to buy in too, once I know what the cost is. Good luck!!
