I have two Lefevers. Both were 100% refurbished by Buck Hamlin, one of the best SxS gunsmiths working today.
Unless an older classic American SxS shotgun is already in 80% condition, I prefer to have it returned to 100% condition. I like them to look like they did when they were new. And then I hunt with them, or shoot clays.
In addition to the LeFevers, I also own and shoot refurbished Foxes, Elsies, and a Remington 1900. To me it seems a way to properly honor the old gun by returning it to first class condition; just as one might restore a 1932 Packard.
I know that others hold a different view.
