Great shotgun with unique features. Make sure chambers are long enough for modern shells if you plan to shoot. Had two, a 16ga. and 12ga.DS Special, refurbished by the old LeFever Arms Company (not the original company) that is no longer in business. This was about thirty years ago. Asked them why the survival rate appeared to be so low. The answer was they were light guns made mostly in the damascus/black powder era. The DS was a low end field grade gun
