the Lefever Nitro Special started life as an Ithaca product as well

solid, durable "modern" (for its time) design - no relation to the other real Lefevers - Ithaca Gun owned the name and could put it on anything they wanted to (as Savage did with the Fox Model B).

I have owned two through the years and never had any trouble with either of them. One was a long barreled 12 - full and fuller - best goose killer I ever owned. I sold it off because I could not shoot steel through it, with the non-tox choices now - I hope someone is still dragging that one through the swamps.

may be a tad heavy but if it fits you, you can have fun in the uplands, it it doesn't - that is one you should not feel bad adjusting it until it does
