All that's left of Ithacagun in Ithaca
 

Looks naked without its factory...

That's some smooth bore!

I've owned three Ithaca Model 37's...Two 16ga, one 12ga...Really liked the 16's... :)

Where'd Ithaca go??? :confused:

not sure - I've got a single shot that my brother owned as a kid

I had an Ithaca 20 gauge. Kicked like an Army mule.

Upper Sandusky, OH https://ithacagun.com/

The name lives on, and they offer classic Model 37--and a 1911, which hadn't been made by Ithaca since WWII.

That interested me, as I don't think anyone offers a copy of the 1911...And Ithaca doesn't either. It's a M1911A1 copy, and the pics show one heavily accessorized... :(

There was mention of a member on another forum who had made a copy of the 1905 (?) (that was submitted to the original trials) from a M1911A1 but I couldn't find it. That would be a cool retro-clone. :D

The only 1911 copies (not 1911A1), I've seen were made by Colt about 20 years ago.

I have an ITHACA MAG 10...

It will let you know when it fires..............!!!

Pretty sure any Mag 10 is Remington's problem now. IIRC, they bought the Mag 10 as Ithacagun was circling the drain. The model 51, their Ithaca made semi-auto, was also a dilly. Its charging handle had a habit of falling out while the owner was afield.

Since I'm not much of a 1911 guy, I use the term in the loosest, most general way possible. :thumbup:

I had a GI 1911 made by Armscor in the Phillipines for High Standard https://gunsgunsguns.net/high-standard-gi-1911/ , but its modified ejection port probably keeps it from being a copy. To its credit, it has very crappy sights. :( G.T. gets to enjoy it now!

I have a 1913 Colt M1911. Don't need a replica :)

Oooold pics of Ithaca Gun Company
 

Blast from the past...

More old pics and history
 

A local historian keeps posting pics on Facebook. And here's a link to the company's historical info, including its timeline up to its demise around here: https://tincanbandit.blogspot.com/20...thaca-gun.html

I own 2 older Ithaca double barrels. Very fine made firearms. Thanks for the pics and history. Bill
