My last Lewis 3E had those same barrels. They are a beautiful pattern!

just wondering, I assume the chamber length is short(2 5/8)?
I have some light loads I shoot thru my Fox pin gun, fluid steel, but maybe should order some 2 1/2" hulls to load for the Ithaca.
I will bring it to the Southern

I think that is the cheapest I have bought a gun since the late 1980's, but it is a quality piece. I guess I would have to put it on a scale with a GH parker, maybe even a DH.
Oh, and it is rock solid tight with the top lever just to the right.

Matt, it is a 12. Sorry, I had mentioned it earlier in a different post before I posted the pictures. I sure wish it was a 16 or 20.

Harold, I would'nt concern myself too much about the 2 5/8" chambers. If the BWT is sufficient and the forcing cones are original, your 2 3/4" low pressure loads that you shoot in your Sterly should be fine.
