Also, as a side note, whoever bored/finished these barrels was outstanding. Unbelievable concentric patterns with both tubes. The 'full' side reaching out with beautiful symmetry to a good 50 yards, with STS Managed Recoil 7/8's - 8.5's. I've misplaced a very cherished book that had a variety of authors discussing manufactures such as Ithaca,L.C. Smith, LeFever, Parker, Browning and others. I recall some mention of a bearded gentleman who for decades had bored the Ithaca guns. He was probably retired by the time this gun was produced, however if not him, the tradition continued.
