Ithaca Gun always made a fine firearm. It wasn't long ago I passed by the origional factory and my heart dropped when I saw how fallen down it was. I have always lived about 20 miles from there and was always a big fan of their guns. At one time, most of the shotguns sold in these parts were Ithaca's. I still own a model 37 in 16 ga. and I will never part with it. I bought it brand new and will probably beput in the groundwith it. I know you will be happy with your new investment and you will never be sorry.
Goodluck
