I took my Ithaca Lewis class serial number 104578 (1904 I think), 28in fxf Beavertail Forearm to trap field 16yd line. I was using Polywad Vintiger double wide #8. I was alternating between right and left barrell and the back trigger stayed back, I assume it is broke. The gun seems to be in very nice condition both wood and bore, it actually looks so nice I think it has probably been redone, I also wonder if the beavertail is an addition since I would think that a gun this age would probably have been splinter forarm. Your thoughts on fixing it, (cost etc.). I have had a similar problem on a Lefever live pigeon gun (no safety), had it fixed and seems fine now but I am wondering if I should stay away from older guns since I do want to use any gun I buy. Thanks
I will have to look at mine. I have a 16ga Lewis model and I thought there was a trigger return spring. I'll look and reply tonight after work.
