New project: Ithaca crass model
Picked this up the other day. It was on an auction site but the gun was local.
I went and gave it a look over before the auction ended. The barrels aren't too bad, the bores are good with no pitting. I disassembled it this morning and found one broken firing pin. Numrich says they have them. Yay.. Oh and it will also need a buttstock, hence the post on the WTB thread. Fun so far..:) [IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5156/...70da034d_z.jpg crass1 by Bonadurers, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3340/...019a11de_z.jpg crass2 by Bonadurers, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2068/...870469c6_z.jpg crass3 by Bonadurers, on Flickr[/IMG] Best regards, Jeff |
I really like the older Ithacas, Ive got a really nice old Lewis model which is nearly identical to the Crass but slightly later. It has steel barrels which I think is unusual. Its in such nice condition I dont shoot it as much as I should. The crass and lewis Ithacas are to me the most graceful and attractive Ithaca shotguns and they are often sold at bargain prices.

Hi Edward,
Welcome aboard! This site has many wonderful people contributing informative and fun things all the time. I believe I can help you. I took many photos during the disassembly. They are currently on a computer that's disconnected and not in use. I will hook it up, retrieve the photos, resize the ones I think will help you and email them to you. Please give me a couple of days. Thanks for your patience. Kind regards, Jeff |
Ed- I replied to your psoting here- to your e-mail
