Smith needed for Ithica HD 37 20"

[officerdave]

I have a NIB Ithica Home Defense 37 with 20" barrel. I am looking for suggestions for a smith that can give it a once over. I want it setup as a fighting shotgun that will be racked next to my Colt AR in the squad. Please no comments like " get a 870 or Mossy 500" , I like the light weight of the HD and it works for what I need. We have plenty of 870s with all the toys hanging off them, anyway. thanks guys ahead of time

It might help if you post your general location.

Your Ithaca should be ready as is. You should shoot the gun a lot and see if there is anything needs attention first.

You should thoroughly CLEAN it first, THEN shoot it a lot. If it is NIB, there will be grease/rust inhibitors on it.

yep taking it out to the outdoor range when our crap weather clears up..... just outside of Chicago for those that asked. I have no issue with shipping through our dept FFL

All of that in mind, should you need a 'smith, I think this is the definitive shop for 37s: http://diamondgunsmithing.com/

You are at least smart enough to know that if you cannot spell Ithaca you have no business trying to take one apart.
