HAVE A 5E NID WITH A BEAVERTAIL FOREARM, SORRY TO ALL YOU ITHACA FANS BUT THIS IS A DAMN UGLY FOREARM. GUN WAS MADE IN 1928. I REALIZE HAND FITTING WAS DONE ON THESE GUNS BUT I WANT A SPLINTER FOREARM. ANYBODY HAVE ONE FOR SALE THAT I COULD TAKE TO MY GUNSMITH AND HAVE FITTED? ANY OTHER IDEAS? I WANT TO KEEP THE BEAVERTAIL JUST NOT LOOK AT IT. THANKS, JEFF

It would be hard to match a new forend with a stock thats 80+ years old. You could shave the beavertail forend down to a splinter.

GENE, THIS GUN IS VERY CLEAN. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT BUT CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT. I'M 6'3" AND MY HAND IS ON THE BARRELS WHEN I SHOOT. I HAVE BOTH FOX AND PARKER GUNS WITH BEAVERTAILS, DON'T LIKE EITHER OF THEM BUT THEY ARE A LOT BETTER LOOKING THAN THE ITHACA. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I DON'T LIKE BEAVERTAILS AT ALL!! JEFF

If Walter doesn't show up, or even if he does, you can bring it by the A.H. Fox Collectors Association booth. We like to look at all kinds of fine American doubles! My Ithaca collection is very nearly up to half of my Fox collection.

Researcher, how in the world can you consider a further contamination of your Fox treasures by looking at another Ithaca!! You must sell me all your Ithacas NOW before the disease spreads. Doctors orders. crazy
Birdshooter, Unfortunately I can't be there this year. But I can send money!! I do like beavertail fore ends, especially after about 50 rounds.
I will probably be in Pa this fall. (family in Pittsburgh and Rochester, NY). E-mail your location and perhaps we ca get together.
Please e-mail me the sn. I am particularly looking for a 5E NID in the 457xxx range.

Birdshooter, Roger Lenzmeier, 507-281-1687, may have some rough turned and inlet factory original splinters. I bought some BT from him when I did the reverse of what you want to do. Worth a call.
