Ithaca Gun is back in business

Ithaca Gun is back in business, but, for the first time since the company was founded in the 1880s, it is headquartered no where near Ithaca.

It is now Ithaca Guns USA, LLC, and headquarters is Upper Sandusky, Ohio, rather than Ithaca, King Ferry or Auburn. But they are making familiar Ithaca Gun models.

Not an Ithaca fan but, Ohio is far better than moving production to some far east Asian country.

Man Ithaca used to make some great pumps.

Ah, but who are these new people, and are they actually manufacturing here or planning to manufacture here, or just putting the Inhaca name on something from 12 time zones away?

Okay, now it is time for them to make an exact reproduction of the M37 trench gun.

Complete with M1917 bayonet and scabbard.

They also need to make the old Ithaca police model used on Adam 12.

Glad to hear they're back!

 

[Henry Bowman]

Welcome to Ohio!

 

[waterhouse]

Great news. I guess I stocked up on 20 ga. featherweight 37s for no reason. Oh well, it's not like not having a reason has ever stopped me from buying guns before.

Complete with M1917 bayonet and scabbard.

And the slam fire trigger system.

 

[Mannlicher]

Good news, indeed.

 

[Wags]

My favorite and most used shotguns! Lets hope they don't price themselves out of business (and remain competitve), and turn out quality products Ithaca was known for.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Now that is good news. Since I need a shotgun anyway, I'll give them a look. I wish them the best of luck at any rate.

Good news indeed! My 20 Ga. M37 Featherweight and my M49 single shot are jumping for joy.

Come on Trench Gun!

I get to smile about this
that's better

From the article:

The Marshalls entered the picture in the fall with a purchase offer, and a deal was negotiated a week before Christmas.

“I think the former owners deserve credit in that they turned down a larger offer to assure that manufacturing would remain here (in the United States) and quality would be maintained,” said Marshall.

Sounds like they'll still be made here in the good ol' US of A.

My 12ga and 20ga always wanted a 16ga playmate.

 

[censored one]

cool

 

[Slater]

This company has had more comebacks than Aerosmith

 

[9mmMike]

I know this already. rogmatt posted it! LOL

It's a joke!

 

[mattw]

Maybe the new ithaca will jump on the 1911 bandwagon and make some Ithaca 1911A1 WW2 repros for less than $8,000,000 a piece like the colts go for

 

[halvey]

From the article:Sounds like they'll still be made here in the good ol' US of A.

And it will be up to us to buy them!

Ithaca fun

Many years ago I had an Ithaca pump, an old UGSI issue. It was fun to hold the trigger back and fire every round in the magazine! Not very effective, but fun none the less. I sold it for a paltry sum, wish now that I had kept it.....

Do they have more original members than the Doobie Brothers?
