If I lived anywhere in the neighborhood...I would be there. Great company with excellent service. I can hardly wait for their over/under to hit the market.

"If I lived anywhere in the neighborhood...I would be there."
As would I. "Great company with excellent service." Agreed. "I can hardly wait for their over/under to hit the market." I'd be happy if we had an Ithaca dealership in the UK. (I've never *seen* a *new* Ithaca. ('Cept on t'Internet in photos, o'course.) Regards, Mark. |

I have to say Ithaca were very accommodating when I needed spare parts. However, it took an *awful* lot of pesterin' before they gave in and agreed to ship them to me.
Regards, Mark. P.S. I get the feeling that I've asked this before, but where's the "reply with quote" button on this forum? |

I just bought some parts last week. The were mailed that afternoon, or the next morning as I had them in hand within a couple days.
Might be a bit different if a person is outside the country, with the different regulations and hoops that a company that sells firearm parts has to jump through to satisfy Uncle Sammy that proprietary technology isn't leaving the country. |

It's *very* different for customers outside the USA. But, although it took a fair bit of badgering, I was *very* pleased with the result: two fixed firing pins and a gun that doesn't FTEx any more.
All I've got to fix now is the wanderin' rear sight, dropping of live rounds and cracked stock... Regards, Mark. |

Tell me about your gun, when it was made, and the complete symptoms. I have just gone through building up a 16ga from scratch. I bought an empty receiver from Numrich, the bolt, carrier,slide and side rails from California, a magazine tube from Ithaca, a barrel from Iowa, rescued, recheckered and refinished a stock. Other parts from here, the rest of them from there.
Plus restored a couple other 16ga Ithaca 37's. I have learned a bit along the way. Maybe I can offer some suggestions. The one I built is on the bottom, the middle one I am restoring. The barrel is done and reblued, the stock is in process. The top is my wife's youth/lady size model 1100 20ga. Yep, they all have the same length of pull. 2 16ga Ithaca 37's and a 1100 20ga. She is my hunting, shooting partner. In fact, join over here. There is a lot of Ithaca knowledge, a lot, including Walt Snyder who wrote the definitive books on Ithacas http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/view...3ca26ff018f749 |
