My 12 gauge Ithaca Flues
 

I ended up buying this Ithaca flues. It has 30'' barrels, extractors, and appears to me to be all original. Weighed in at 7lbs 8oz. Only problem I found was there is two dents in the right barrel. I tried to get pictures of them. So far I have $206 dollars into it hopefully after getting the dents out I have a good field gun for next years hunting at decent price. Let me know what you guys think.

Eldon,

I think you did very well on your purchase, that is a nice late Flues model. For $206.- and say another $50.- or so to get the dents removed, that's under $300.- for an American classic shotgun. Do check the chambers because they're probably short (2-5/8").

Nice gun. Price is definatly right. Dents do not represent any significant problams. Lots of people can remove light dents for very little money.

Nice old flues! If the dents are shallow you can shoot it as is. Removal is more a matter of aesthetics than necessity.

you done good... nice gun.... charlie

Great looking gun. You did well Sir.

Eldon: Great hunting gun and great bargain. Thomas

You did great on that gun. Just be sure nobody arrests you for robbery. It will make a great bird gun.

Eldon, good buy. I had my Ithaca Flues 20 ga chambers lengthened recently by a former Master Gunsmith for Ithaca by the name of Les Hovercamp. Les operates Diamond Gunsmithing out of Ithaca, NY and he specializes in servicing old Ithaca doubles as well as model 37's. His work is excellent and his prices are very reasonable should you wish to have work done on your Flues. Contact info is: www.diamondgunsmithing.com 607-273-4510. Address is: 211 Dey St. Ithaca, N.Y. Les is good to deal with.

Thanks guys. I dont know how shallow they are but you can see the one when you look down the barrel. Allen I will look into the gunsmiths as I probably need someone to do a lot of work on my 20 gauge flues it is a mess. I looked up the flues serial numbers my 12 was made in 1920 and my 20 was made in 1909. Ill have the chambers checked when I have the dents removed.
