I believe that Steve is very aware of what this project might involve.

I also believe that eveyone should have a realistic idea of what this gun should cost - out the door. Well, here's my best guess $7500 minimum with no engraving and that may be somewhat low.

One other item that should be considered by anyone thinking that they can do their own stock work, unless you have considerable experience, a Lefever IS NOT the first gun you should start with. The top tang has as many curves a Marilyn Monroe and it's a bugger.

Stocking is the only part of the gun that I have any real knowledge but I'll bet that the rest of the gun will require the services of a professional also.

In conclusion - you will not be getting a $12,000 gun for $2750 that only happens with the RBL.
