Ithaca shotguns

Mine would likely be a Featherlight 12ga 30" vent rib

...or possibly 28" if I went with extended tubes... Anyone know off hand what choke system they use?


Would be awesome if they could put the corncob forend from the Defense gun onto the Featherlight...

Registering with the DDTC for ITAR is one thing, but you need another license to export certain type of firearm (NFA firearms)

How do you explain that others can export these short barrel shotguns and some can't ?

Why did the US State dept forbade them to export these guns ?

Do they have the proper license to export shotguns with barrel less than 18" ?

From what i know, to export a shotgun with a barrel of 18" and up the manufacturer need an export license from the US dept of Commerce but for a shotgun with a shorter barrel the manufacturer need a license from the US State dept and this license is very costly, that could explain why they can't export these guns.

Because other importers falsify there export documents. They will just put Ithaca M37 on their DSP83 and hope they don't get called on it by the US State Dept. Clay's a straight shooter and crosses his t's and dots his i's. He would actually completely describes the firearm on a DSP83. He would put Ithaca M37 12 gauge, 13" barrel Stakeout Model for example just because you own one. All his export paper work is done by a reputable law firm that specializes in firearms export and they are fearful of the US State Dept. because if they screw up they will be charged and can face prison time. I actually talked to them before about exporting stuff and my hat goes off to them because they go above and beyond the State Dept. requirements. I did at one point have a discussion with the US State Dept. over some permits and low and behold she starting talking about CGN. She started to list off some of the site sponsors. She never told me the name of the companies because privacy concerns, but she said what cites they are located out of. According to her they only had export permits for half the stuff that was listed on their websites. So they do monitor this stuff and it's all about collecting enough evidence to prosecuted them. That's why I stick with Clay to import stuff.

Maybe something has changed with Prophet River import/export that I do not know of?

Last I heard PR does not themselves, import into Canada, what is considered Class III firearms from the USA.

Only because the FFL dealer they work with, does not have the permit for USA export of Class III.

Sporting arms yes, but SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, no.

Please prove me wrong.

That is a big accusation there buddy , i call bullsheit on what you say , How about proving it ?

And also Prophet cannot import these guns because their US exporter doesn't have the proper permit to handle NFA firearms and if they can't handle them, they can't apply for an export permit.

Do you realy think i will believe that the US State dept will tell you this kind of private information over the phone ?

You have no idea what youre talking about !

I regret not buying the waterfowl when they were blowing them out..

I thought Briley was a manufacturer of tubes in general, rather than an actual pattern/style, like Carlson. Must admit I know little about them

You are correct, Briley does manufacture chokes, Ithaca must use them as a supplier for their choke tubes.
