Ithacas are fine guns. My Dad loves Ithacas. He had a 20 gauge Featherlight from the 60's and found it's twin in 12 gauge on the used rack of a local shop a few years ago. Needless to say, he bought it (same year of manufacture to boot).

I do agree, sell it for something you want but don't chop it. Ithaca is still making fine shotguns, but something about those old guns just makes you want to keep them as-is.

Someone should buy it. Deerslayers are/were popular in the shotgun only states.
