Going Shooting? 
Half your success depends on your gun. You want a gun in which any natural 
wear can be immediately taken up by a compensating screw, wof returned to the 
factory for this purpose; the one with the fewest parts; the one made as you 
would make it if you were a gunsmith of 50 years’ experience. 
LEFEVER SHOT GUNS 
have no superior. Its compensating screw takes up all the wear. It has only 
three parts to its mechanism, Its exclusive cocking hook takes the strain off the 
hinge joint. Its dove-tailed top fastener and compensating bolt keeps the barrels 
continually wedged tight against the frame. 
Removal of lock plates does not interfere with the action. Indicator 
tells when gun is cocked. Barrels and stock imported. 
Every gun is taper bored, tested to shoot dead center with greatest 
penetration and even distribution of shot, before it passes inspection. 
The new Lefever catalogue is ready and will be sent to any address 
free of charge. Write for it before you forget to. Every lover of sport 
should have it.
