I went with $1500 in my pocket to buy it depending on what it looked like in person, since it was a higher grade than what you normally find. I had to walk away as well when they would not budge. It is obvious they buy guns without checking out the true condition. They also had a Parker 20 Trojan and had it marked modified and full, for $1400. I had to break the news to them that it was cut to 26" and was cylinder and cylinder and rough, and should have been less than half their asking price.

wondered why it traveled so much, i watched it move around and had thought about having it shipped to the one near by- but assumed they would not deal since the price had stayed there in spite of the movement


at least it found a home

This Ithaca isn't perfect...but I really like it!

I got a good deal on it...probably because of the guy at the gun library knew I took it in the shorts on the other deals I've done with them
