Again the quality of their gun showed, and they enjoyed several years of successful shotgun sales. The Ithaca Flues would go on to become the best selling American double barrel of all time.Įight years later Ithaca would incorporate with the LeFever Arms Company of Syracuse, New York, and began manufacturing the LeFever Sidelock Shotgun that was first designed by Daniel Myron “Uncle Dan” LeFever. They would slightly modify the design, which allowed them to mass-produce the shotgun, and then launched it to the public in 1908. The patent for this gun was first granted to Emil Flues in 1895 and was then purchased by Ithaca in 1907. The first gun to truly showcase the quality in their work was the Ithaca Flues break-action double barrel shotgun. The company wasted no time building a reputation as a quality firearm manufacturer, and they did so by following a pattern of redesigning, or perfecting guns patented by other builders. Zak took care of me and gave it his personal attention.The Ithaca Gun Company was first founded by Leroy Smith and William Henry Baker in 1883. It seems to work fine now and the stock is beautiful. It felt like it wanted to hang up when I ejected a shell. While I had it at Ithaca, I had them add a nice mid bead and smooth up the action for me. The checkering on the stock was not defined with the stock finish bleeding into the field. I upgraded the Fancy AA Grade model to a AAA stock. I had a problem with my 28 as well but they fixed it right away. Now with dove season here, I can't use it.
