Old Ithaca double
Posted: 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
