I was also thrown into this world in 1947. Man you should take that Lefever out and shoot some ducks in memory of your dad. I have my dads 16 ga. sxs he bought after I was born in a trade so he could buy a stroller, and this year it will be killing some pheasants for him. I cannot even guess at the numbers of pheasants and rabbits that fell to that gun while I was with him, let alone before I hunted with him.
