I have a single shot Tolley 12 gauge I started using last year when grouse hunting. Love it!
What a slick looking rig, canvasback. Wish I had one like it.

I concur, the Tolley is nice indeed!
canvasback - I haven't taken the time to search....were there more and complete images of the shotgun in that doubles photo thread? I would be interested in looking at some closeups of the receiver, fore end etc design. How is the shotgun choked?

My father too was from the depression era of 'don't squander your money' and his Coeey Model 84 in 12 gauge was the only one for him.My father always had a single shot, because repeaters are 'expensive'.
Strange, because he always got birds...
Blew him away when I bought my Mossberg 500 for 300 bucks though.
When I took my first paycheck from my part-time job and purchased an M37 pump action, he was taken quite aback as well!
Foolishly I let that one go in a moment of sheer stupidity. Years later I've certainly made up for the loss of the first Ithaca.
Ahsan, just checked in for a few moments. Will check what was posted before and see if I need to add to the photo array so you can see more of the gun. It very quickly became a real favorite once I brought it home.
The Tolley is a 12 gauge with a single barrel of 29" inches. Choked improved cylinder with 2 3/4" chamber. The gun weighs 5 lbs even (sorry I lied, 5 lbs, 0.2 oz.).
The Tolley is in great condition with lots of case colour left. Reviewed the gun with Stelios from SCG and he thinks the chambers and choke are original.
Regards,
James
