Nice little gun show find, Ithaca definitely sold these guns by the pound. Very nice condition, bores are fantastic, nice patterning on the damascus, tight on face and rib. Couple bubba fixes to the stock, but they actually look pretty good.
Couple questions I have:
There doesn't appear to be any markings in regards to what the barrels are choked for. It's a grade 1-1/2, 12 gauge, no other markings on the flats or table. I don't have the instruments here to reliably measure bore size around at current.
Secondly, the set screw retaining the extractor is missing. The extractor still works, it just goes for a walk sometimes. Anyone know off hand if this is in some relatively easy thread I can cut on the lathe, or is it an interchangeable part from other Ithaca's?
I'm still working on tooling up to load black powder brass, all in good time.
