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

--my first guess might be a barrel trip, needs more details on your gun. The Hammer Ithacas of that era didn't have a trip- which is spring actuated, but the hammerless- in both Twist, Damascus and Nitro steel barreled versions- did- if memory serves..

What is a crass Ithica. This is a 10 ga with 3 inch chanbers and 28 inch bbls.
The guy says it's a D grade.
