That gouge in the stock appeared ancient 40+ years ago when I first saw this gun. This old scattergun has the same engraved scene on both sides, mostly worn away.
It was a LeFever Nitro Special, essentially a mass-produced shotgun of good quality. His mama made him give one to his brother, so naturally Dad kept the double. Somewhere around young adulthood, my father became enamored of firearms and laid claim to them both there was a single-shot and a double barrel. They had to be cheap, because there was never much money to go around. The story goes that my father’s father managed to get hold of a couple old 410 shotguns for cheap. In my case, the first firearm I could call my own was a side-by-side 410 shotgun, which I first carried in the woods nigh on 40 years ago. What was your first gun? Chances are, it’s the one that made the biggest impression on you, but it may not be the first one you fired.
My first gun, a LeFever Nitro Special, has a lot of miles on it. My First Gun Was This LeFever Nitro Special.
