Fox Collectors

Looks like two nice Ithacas and some good shooting. Congrats! Your narratives are well written. Its sad there isn't (that I know of) of an active Ithaca Collectors Association and Forum to share your posts there. frank There is a group on facebook but facebook and guns are like politicians and rust...

As I posted in my first post I picked up another 4E Knick SBT while attending the shoot on the weekend. Having time to sit down we decided to do a little comparison checking. Serial # dates this latest Knick to 1963 which also hapoens to be my birth year and a small part of the reason I purchased th...

Excellent shooting Frank! Me and Shane took our Knick’s to the line on July 4, it was the first time in awhile, but they break targets with ease when the shooter does their part. I have not shot a great amount of different trap guns by any means, but it is very hard to find a better looking Trap gu...

Day 2, first ever time trying the Knick for caps. Started out strong posting a 25 from my assigned 25.5 yd handicap. Was three stations deep into the second 25 when I dropped two targets back to back and killed any chance of a putting a 50 or more straight together. I ended with a 94 x 100 from 25.5...

I carry a small amount of cash and limit myself!

I headed to Calgary, AB friday morning to attend the championship weekend events of the Stampede Grand Trap Shoot. I brought along my Ithaca 4E Knick and two flats of AA Extra-Lite 1oz(1180 fps) #7 1/2's to shoot the Knick with and also threw in a few flats of Remington Gun Club and Federal Top Gun ...

I tried to find him on the ATA website but they don't seem to have a historical section. Thank you kind sir for the awesome info!! Wow!

I always find it fascinating to get a Cody letter to see what kind of info is in them. I received three this week for a few of my Ithacas. The letter for the 5E Knick was quite interesting to say the least and has left me with a curiosity to try to find out who M. Davis was? He appears to be the rec...

Never heard ever of Winchester having salt stock issues. Browning Superposed yes but not Winchester.

The Model 12 sure turned out be a very pleasant surprise. Based on the bore and a few other areas still covered in old cosmoline I can only surmise this gun is NIB unfired? There is zero indication it was ever fired, just assembled only. What a beauty! Serial # places it at 1973 mfg. IMG_4115.jpeg I...

Picked up this grade 3 yesterday on a dealers website. It was advertised as a Flues but pretty sure this is a Lewis. I bought it sight unseen on his word that barrels ring, tight on face, no cracks in the wood. Fingers crossed. And a model 12 trap today... :D IMG_3831.jpeg IMG_3832.jpeg IMG_3830.jpe...
