Sorry about all of these pictures. I hope that TheHighRoad doesn't ban me, but I thought this was cool. This poor Ghetto Ithaca walked up to me at a gun show and followed me home. I cleaned up the rust, recut and crowned barrel (19" to 18 5/16"), detail stripped and cleaned it, and installed an extra stock I had sitting around. Still left to do: Dress up the muzzle a bit, install a large bead, and refinish the buttstock to match the fore-end. Enjoy the pictures.
Yes, by the way, the bolt holding the old 'stock' on was tight in the picture. Sad. Also note the chatter marks from the hacksaw and the lack of dressing after the 'gangsta' cut this gun off. It was crooked also by about 1/8" although it might not be obvious by the pictures.
