Craig,

If you'd like to see how an Ithaca Lefever Nitro Special .410 with 26" barrels feels, I'd be happy to let you try mine. Choked Mod and Full and the stock measures about 14" x 1 5/8" x 2 1/2" but it seems to feel a little shorter. This is a late one with SN 356464 and 3"chambers.

I've shot a lot of cotton tail rabbits, some grouse and even a couple pheasants when we had wild ones.

I got the gun more than 50 years ago from Pearson's Gun Shop in Auburn, NY for $150.00 plus $7.50 tax.

You are welcome to see how it handles. Send me an email if you'd like to try it and we can work out the details.
