A NEW LEFEVER GUN 
T he name of Lefever, which has been 
held in keen regard by three genera- 
tions of American sportsmen, again ap- 
pears in an entirely new weapon — the 
new Lefever Nitro special double-barrel 
gun, which is to retail at a very moderate 
price. The accompanying illustration 
shows a mechanism of remarkable sim- 
plicity, founded on the soundest of me- 
UEFEVER NITRO SPECIAL 
A new strong-shooting gun of moderate price 
chanical principles ; non-ljrcakablc coil 
main and rear springs ; the stock secure- 
ly fastened to the frame with a draw’- 
bolt running up through the grip, and 
an ingenious trip-pin for releasing the 
top snap. 
In his day the elder Lefever, in addi- 
tion to exquisite workmanship, contrib- 
uted to the art of gun making a splendid 
type of extension rib and hinge joint 
that compensated for wear and was ever 
seeking to improve the mechanism of the 
weapon which bore his name. This new 
lock has been favorably commented upon 
by many of the best gunsmith^s of_ the 
country.” It has been snapped 7,700 times 
and fired 1,000 without a break, and it 
has satisfied the makers and the experts, 
to which it has been submitted, that it 
is mechanically worthy of the name it 
bears. The gun will be manufactured in 
12, 16 and 20 gauges. 
frequently forgotten and the hand pro- 
tector often loosened and fell ofif and 
sometimes both were lost. 
Many a veteran trap-shooter remem- 
bers the jolt his nerves received when he 
inadvertently gripped one or more of his 
fingers on a very hot barrel when about 
to call pull. This jolt perhaps even 
“threw him off,” so he missed his bird. 
The advent of the single-barrel trap gun 
with the broad, so- 
called “beaver - tail’ 
forend, of c o u r s t 
changed all this ex- 
cept for those whe 
refused to give up th( 
good old double. 
The present strong 
tendency toward dou 
ble guns and th' 
fact that man; 
shooters now carry a double-barrel 
with them to tournaments for shootin; 
doubles, have led Parker Brothers t 
develop a trap model forend for thei 
double guns. As the cuts show, it pro 
vides a large, comfortable grip for th 
hand, allowing no chance for crainpe 
or burned fingers. The hand is fully pre 
tected, because the barrels are burie I 
deep in the forend wood. It may b | 
applied to either new or old guns an 
to any grade except the Trojan. It add 
but 6 to 8 ounces above the weight c 
the gun as equipped with the regula 
forend. This forend should prove ver 
popular with double-barrel shotgun user 
and Parker Brothers will gladly furnis 
information and prices. 
A GOOD MAINE GUIDE 
A TRAP MODEL FOREND 
FOR DOUBLE GUN 
T he accompanying cuts show to good 
advantage the “Trap Model” forend 
which the firm of Parker Brothers, Meri- 
den, Conn., makers of the “Old Reliable” 
shotgun, is fitting to its double-barrel 
trap guns. It has been so designed as to 
give great comfort and protection in 
shooting and yet does not destroy the 
symmetry of outline of the gun to which 
it is fitted. 
Up to a few years ago the follower 
of the sport of trap-shooting was com- 
pelled to carry as part of his equipment 
either a heavy glove or some type of 
hand protector to be adjusted to the gun, 
particularly true on a very hot day when 
gun barrels heat quickly. A glove was
