Why is anyone sure the reincarnated Ithica is well made? 'cause they said so and demonstrated a few selling points -- really!? The fact that it's expensive means... it's expensive. Alot of people swear Remington 870's are good because of their two-century old name but they STINK these days.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go hire some unemployed shotgun machinists from Smith & Wesson, Hatfield, and/or Ruger, lease "Parker Bros." from an old widow, "A.H. Fox" from a Trust Fund, or "Winchester" from Olin Corp. to make and MARKET an old (read: obsolete) design, leveraging "Made in America," knowing there are enough collectors that I can at least break even in the short term...
