Ithaca 20
 

Wondering what the group feels about how common Ithaca Flues 20's are with 30" barrels?

Never Mind,!!! Just realized the gun is a Minier...already bought it. First Minier 20 I have ever seen! Seller said it was a flues.......

In the early years of the Ithaca Flues Model, 20-gauge doubles were cataloged with 24-, 26- and 28-inch barrels. From 1919 through the last Flues era catalog in 1925 Ithaca Gun Co. only offered 26- and 28-inch 20-gauge barrels. That said, we've seen enough long barrel Ithaca Flues Model small bores to know they built what the customer ordered.

Turns out this gun is a Lewis or Minier? Hard to tell from photos, by either one made my decision, especially with the 30" tubes.

The Ithaca 20s are very nice guns. I have a Ithaca NID 20 gauge, grade 4E that is the only non-Parker gun I own. It is about 90%. I am going to be listing here for sale in the next week or two. I love it but it just doesn't get along with my Parkers.

Total stand down.....got gun today, it was a 12bore! Already on its way back to seller.

Bummed!

Seems that seller was way off on description/pics!!!

Turns out they were pretty nice guys, but they are a “black gun” shop. Said he tested the bore by comparing a shell to the muzzle! He paid the return shipping immediately, and returned all of my money.

Wow! That went in all different directions.

They only make thise black guns in .223. Everything else is a mystery.

By the way, in the back of my mind I knew it was too good true, but then I still believe in jolly ‘ol St. nick! Used the money to buy Thomas’ 16 bore Elsie!
