20 gauge NID

[Phil C]

I looked at a 20 gauge barrel set NID today. I placed it on hold. I have a few questions. The barrel sets are 28” and 24” SN’s match the receiver. The gun is a basic field grade with cocking indicators.
Can anyone tell me if Ithaca offered a 24” set? Can a letter be obtained?
I will be inspecting closer when i return for turkey hunting at the end of this week.
Anything I should pay close attention to?

You can get records for ithaca guns from the Cody museum they are pretty quick on getting you information if you are a member.

Ithaca Gun Co. only catalogued 26-, 28- & 30-inch 20-gauge NIDs. But we know righteous 20-gauge guns with 32-, 24- and even 22-inch barrels

Thanks guys I am a member of the CFM but did not remember they had records on the Ithaca NID’s.
I now recall Walt donated his records to Cody.
I will make a call Monday. I hope the guns will show it came with 2 sets of barrels.
Overall it’s a nice gun, unfortunately the butt stock needs replacement.
Stock cut to 13”. I will start looking for a stock.
It sure looked small sitting on the rack.

I have a legitimate 28 gauge Flues with 24” barrels. Not sure if that helps your case.

Thank you Harry. I plan to pick the gun up tomorrow.

[Phil C]

Thank you Harry for looking.

Phil guess you are chasing turkeys on the reservation hope you scored. I'd better quit selling my inventory and start buying like you! All I've bought are some more watches for my collection of dive watches which seem to get more use then my guns since no seasons open!! Need to keep eye sharp and go plug some clays! Looking forward to seeing your new two barrel Ithaca set!
