Two Barrel Sets

[Mike Poindexter]

I have a 12 ga Ithaca Lewis set I found in a pawn shop 25 years ago with 26 Twist Cyl and Full, and a second set of factory stamped and serial numbered 30" Mod and Full in fluid steel. I had the buttstock replaced with a suitably plain piece of walnut because the head of the original was shot, and finished it myself with french polish. I then waited 20 more years to get a two barrel hard case. The short barrels are an upland dream, gun weighs 6'10" and balances just behind the hinge pin, while the 30 inch set brings the gun weight up to 7' 5" and the balance well forward of the hinge pin. Perfect for ducks and other long crossers. Good on the trap range also. Not bad for a farm implement.
