I stumbled on a nice Ithaca flues
I was looking at a local shop and found a nice little 16 gauge Ithaca Flues. Grade 2 made in 1913, with a trap stock. The original rubber butt pad was crumbling so I changed it. It has an ivory front bead on the Krupp Fluid Steel 26" barrels. It appears to have the chambers lengthened to 2 3/4" as I have a brass 16 gauge 2 3/4" shell that slides in freely. Bores are nice and bright. Lockup is tight, too. I was wondering if I could fire low pressure shells in it that I load myself to 8000 to 8500 psi.
