Old Ithaca model 72 Saddle Gun .22lr lever action

Recommended Posts

Rifle has been sold. Thanks for the interest.

 

 

 

I picked this gun up years ago for my boys, but they never shoot it. The gun has been barely shot. I had never seen or heard of one of these guns until I bought it. There is a slight mark on the stock and forearm. I have included pics of them. Included in the sale is the original box with matching serial number on the end. I haven't been able to find one for sale with the box. This is the smoothest lever gun I've ever shot. Here is some information on the gun.

 

The gun was manufactured in West Germany by Erma Werke from 1973-78. It is a 15 shot tube fed, 18.5 inch barrel. Henry rifles now build a similar gun in there factory. I would like to get $475 or I would consider trading for a sub compact auto pistol. David

I found mine in a bargain bin at my local retailer. I took it to my gunsmith and had him put a cantilever scope mount on the barrel. I new this gun had a Erma Worke barrel (high quality) but mounting a scope on the receiver would be a mistake because the receiver is not secure to the barrel. The results were amazing. I have several CZ's …savage 19's…. wichester… marlin all 22 cal. I am a 22 nut. My ithaca outshoots all of them. The biggest difference is the cold shot.

 

IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE
