Ithaca SBT

[Stan Hoover]

This is one of the greatest threads of the past 3 months, but it is beginning to test my patience severely! We need to see MORE pictures of these great Ithaca SBTs and more definitive information

Kevin,

I will do my best to oblige with more pictures later this evening. I wish I could show you a Sousa grade like Bill has, but unfortunately I parted with a 7E and a Sousa 12 years ago, thought I needed to utilize the money other places

Thumbing through the NID pictures I've saved, I still see silver birds on No. 5Es to 453707 --

and gold birds by 455765 --

Kevin,
We may be able to get this one adjusted to fit you

I would think this one was probably a regular at the Grand American and probably adjusted for many different shooters.

Was it easier to build the adjustable stock around the straight grip, or why the straight grip? I know the English grip was fairly common on the Flues SBT.

I just wonder what happened to the original barrels, were they damaged while shooting or….. I’ve been watching for a 34” Flues barrel that is reasonably close in serial number, tried a few, but haven’t located one that fits better than the one it currently wears.

I would have to double check if Walt stated that the Ithaca inlays are Silver in his book, I think they are Silver.
