Thanks Dave. Silvers it will be. I've been rubbing the outside of the barrels with Hoppes #9 and Frontier pad and they are looking very nice. I'm oil finishing the wood which will be done in 2 weeks, then the pad goes on and reassemble everything. I've cleaned the frame as well but will leave the metal as is from there. I think it will come out nicely and be fun to poke at sporting clays once in a awhile. Have to order shell next from RST. thanks again.

Looks like a great gun and good buy. I think you did even better than me on my recent pick up of a Grade 3 Lewis Ithaca. I was just offered an even trade on a 5 lb 15 oz Belgian guild 16, straight grip. I kind of like that old Ithaca however, but a 16 would sure get shot/hunted alot more.
I wish my Ithaca had hammers.

Birdhunter, I just load and shoot some low/moderate pressure and velocity 2 /34' shells with 3/4 or 7/8 oz.
Some how that purple hull got in the picture, but mine is a 12.
