Ithaca O/U shotguns

Sounds like a wall ornament to me. Also how can the trigger be 24k gold? Pure gold is way to soft for something like that, unless its plated, in which case it will wear easily. I would just display it myself as i doubt it was made for actual use (unless your some rich schmuck).

Is it this model?

pretty gun, NeonSamurai, that kinda sounds like it.

I am sure he meant plated. No firearms Co. would make a weapon with soft metal.

That is the model. Some better pics of another one from a different site:

It looks like it has "Hi-Viz" sights. Was this altered or did it come that way?

Isn't it a bit stupid to have a sight like that on a gun that's really not meant to be shot with? Just wondering...

I've never shot with an Ithaca shotgun but I liked it in the game Mafia.

Nice piece of iron. I have no idea one way or the other on whether you should use it for what it was meant or keep it perfect.

Tough choice. Have fun with it either way.

I have the same gun. Its a duck hunter and not overly rare. Shoot it, Enjoy it and when your done make darn sure you clean it!
