The Nitro Special is basically an Ithaca shotgun. Nothing wrong with it, strong gun, good shooter, but not a Lefever.

heathen

made by Ithaca as a bargain gun to get the bottom of the market just a couple years before the NID came out but not engineered like the Flues or NID - they also had another entry level as the Western Long Range

but yes - the nitro special is a very solidly built gun- I have had two over the years and never had an issue with the function of either one

Colonel George Busby wrote for years about his long lived Nitro Special and his 43 months spent in South America mainly shooting birds.
