Ithaca 900 XL

[youonlywish]

Just got an Ithaca model 900 XL today. What a beautiful gun.

Few questions...

-Function testing with a snap cap, the hinge on the bottom where you'd thumb shells in doesn't want to budge. Ideas?

-Do they still have a facility in Dunnville, ON - it's marked on the barrel as such...

you have to press in that button on the side, the same one as the bolt release
call me if you have any questions.

Going to go try that now.

No Ithaca facility in Dunnville,Ontario.Closed many years ago.

Ithaca still manufactures firearms in Ohio,U.S.A.

Next question...

Function testing today - released the bolt and the charging handle flew right off!

It's out of the gun now... any ideas?

Stick it back in?

Make sure it is seated properly.
