Siwash Report post Posted May 19, 2014 ***SOLD*** I have an old (like circa 1910-1920) Ithaca "Flues" field grade side by side 20 gauge for sale. Dual trigger, 28" barrels, mod/full choke, bluing is worn (see pics), center bead missing and slight dent in right barrel (see pic). Barrels have moderate pitting. Wood is in good shape for its age. Shot a limit of doves with it last September and 100 rounds of sporting clays. Functions fine with standard load 2 3/4" shells and the gun is LIGHT (maybe 5#). Asking $350, not interested in trades. Pristine models fetch upwards of $1K on Gunbroker. If there are any Ithaca experts who have more insight about this gun feel free to PM me or post it here. Shotgun is in Tucson. Thanks for looking.

Siwash Report post Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks guys, more details on the gun: it is a vintage 1911 Ithaca Flues Field Grade model. Met with another member tonight and although he decided the gun wasn't for him he did measure the bores and found out the chokes had been opened up and they are both around .14, so more like dual modified barrels, making it all the better as a bird gun. The gun was designed at a time when 2 1/2" shells were the norm. I shot it with standard load 2 3/4" 8 shot without issue, but you can still get really great 2 1/2" shells from RST: http://www.rstshells.com/ I'm going to list it on Shotgun World next week, but before I do it's $300 local in Tucson on here.

cactusjack Report post Posted May 23, 2014 When I was stationed in Neb. I bought a Parker Brothers 20 VHE that I loved to hunt with. I sold it before I left, because I knew I wouldn't hunt with it in Az. Too many falls, too many rocks. I will hunt with this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
