how old is my Iver Johnson single barrel shotgun champion model 3578 C with a 12 gauge choke bore barrel and lug forged in one and approximate value .
Iver Johnson is most often associated with the HERCULES trade name. sales@countrygunsmith.net *If that statement marked on the gun actually says "barrel and lug forged in one piece" it is a Stevens. If it says "barrel and lug forged in one" (exactly the same except no "piece") it is by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.

To disassemble a Lefever shotgun, first ensure the gun is unloaded and the safety is engaged. Open the action and remove the forearm by pressing the release latch, then slide it off the barrel. Next, unscrew the barrel from the receiver by turning the barrel lug counterclockwise. Finally, you can access the internal components by removing the stock, typically done by unscrewing the stock bolt located at the rear of the receiver. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
