There are a couple of nasty ways butchers do this. Some will pean the pin pushing up metal in one spot while lowering it in another spot. Works for a short time only. Sandblasting will do the same thing. Variations on this abound.

Keith Kearcher also is one of the good guys. But what I have found is that if you ever send a gun to Britain, they will redo anything anyone else has properly fixed and recharge you for it. Now it costs money to send a gun to Britain. I do this to reproof shotguns after any barrel change such as lengthening short chambers. I always have other work done there as it is cheaper than in America. This includes removing barrel dings, rebrowning, refacing, reribbing, chasing engraving, etc. Now wood work I do myself except for checkering. That is done better in the US. The Continentals especially have no touch or respect for fine checkering. The Brits are better but still not as good as in the US. By the way, American Damascus shotguns should never be browned. There were all originally in the black and white. The late Oscar Gaddy was an expert at this. A friend studied under Oscar and will offer this soon, but not at the moment. If you have ever seen a 100% B&W, you would never want another fluid steel shotgun.

Now if you send your gun to a name shop, you will spend a name amount. Not my cup of tea.

Of course, if you have an original Lefever, you need not give it to anyone for refacing. There is a screw that you can tighten to reface by yourself. Yanks always have a better idea.
