Another Lehigh question
« on: February 06, 2010, 11:01:51 PM »
Do all Lehigh stlye rifles have the "double curvature" starting in the wrist and then ending at the toe?

Also would one be able to file off the casted in engravings on the buttplate, triggerguard, and lockplate by Dubbs as seen in the TOTW and MBS online catalogs and still be able to engraves one's own pattern?

"ALL" is always a dangerous word. I would say most did to varying degrees depending on who and when. It is certainly considered a distinguishing factor in identifying original Lehighs.

I haven't used those castings but most of the castings Ive seen that had the engraving cast in have plenty of meat on them.

TS the answer to your question is "No".  But the comb and the under edge are almost always cured.
