Picked up this really sweet 16 gauge Long Range this week. Looks like it wasn't used very much. Has pretty much all the case coloring and about 92% bluing left. Wood is very nice. I was actually surprised at how well it handles for a North American gun. Looks good alongside the Flues and Lefever.

That is a beauty !!

I keep checking around everytime I encounter a lil out of the way store for any doubles at good prices and have yet to find any with such good cc or blue as that piece. nice find. is that 28"barrels? whats the choke?

Yes, the barrels are 28" choked 2 and 4 so I guess full and improved cylinder. I haven't took a measurement yet though. It is a 1940 build.

I think that 2 is mod & 4 is full; atleadt thats what ive heard.

What would a 3 be? I thought 1 was cylinder, 2 was improved cylinder, 3 was modified and 4 was full. But I could be wrong. I tried finding out on the net but you can never find anything when you want to.

British method.
0 is none
1/4 is imp cyl
2/4 is mod
3/4 is imp mod
4/4 is full

Ithaca just states numerator only. I dont remember my exact source but the link above is from a far more knowledgable man than myself

Found this.

Also near the front of each barrel flat there should be a number designating the choke of that barrel -- 4 = full, 3 = improved modified, 2 = modified, 1 = improved cylinder and 0 = cylinder.
