Old Ithaca double

Post by Casper » Tue Sep 14, 2010 11:20 pm

Looking for anyone that is knowledgeable with old Ithaca Doubles.

I recently acquired an Ithaca 16g Double, a Western Arms Model Long Range Gun. According to www.ithacagun.com and the stamped serial # the gun was manufactured in the year 1937.

Some things I would like to know is:

What is its approximate value? Its condition is between 40% and 60%

It has fixed chokes and I don't know what it is choked too on each barrel. Does anyone know the diameter for each choke size? My guess would be Mod./Full. The right barrel is stamped with a 2 and the left stamped a 4.

This gun could use a restocking (mainly the fore stock). If I chose to restock it myself is there a place that I can get preformed blanks?

Any other useful information you can share would be much appreciated

I would speak to Diamond Gunsmithing:

He seems to be the go-to-guy for Ithacas. Hurry because he is old!! :D

Seriously, I don't think there is a better resource just be polite because he is not that pleasant.
