Dace, I forgot to add that your Nitro Special has a forged steel frame. It was the cheaper version called the Western Long Range Arms gun that had the cast, maleable frame. Also, my gun is numbered 44 guns later than yours. Good shooting --- andno steel, please. You really ought to get Walt Snyder's excellent books on the Ithaca guns. He checks in to this board from time to time and is a very helpful guy with an unsurpassed knowledge of the Ithaca guns. Chopper
I really am going to have to pick up the book. I keep reading about it.
The bloke who owns this shotgun broke the stock while shooting slugs out of it. Thats why he was trying to find the model. He has been searching for a suitable replacement stock. I have let him know what kind of gun he has.
Thank you everyone for confirming the little research I did.
