TxHuntermn,

The short answer is..."anything is possible." While I dont think any of us have seen one, oddities do exist, particularly if a gun was assembled by Ithaca.

A dead giveaway wwould be the trigger guard, as ColdSping pointed out. Lefever straight grips came with a very long guard that extended way down the bottom of the buttstock.

As an aside, and as a separare matter, I would say that if it were an Ithaca assembled gun, it would be very uncommon. My personal belief is that the generational variations in Lefevers have drawn some people into way over-stating the likely number of Ithaca assembled guns. The topic has been debated at length by us LACA guys, and I wont hijack the thread and/or bore people by going in why I think this. I just thought it worth pointing out.

If the trigger guard is right, the best "guess" is your DS came original that way, and the gun is a unique oddity. Secondarily, finding an original "donor" straight grip stock WITH its correct trigger guard would be about as unlikely as yhe gun having been originally made that way.
