BPskeeter's ProfileI actually have a "Fletcher Special" hardware gun, but it is a Crass in all but the stamping.
Been shooting it all summer, and I love it!
Any other Crass shooters?

Just wondering if there are any other shooters out there who are using a Crass model?

Haven't taken any pictures of it yet. Been too busy working up some good loads and shooting it!
Maybe after I get back from Friendship, I'll get the chance. Do plan on re-stocking it over the winter. A flash in the pan, a puff of smoke, and a prayer to the great Lord on high...

If the serial numbers for the Fletcher match up with the Ithaca numbers, then it's 1900
The stock has been cracked and repaired in the past, and there is oil damage behind the reciever. Since this is a "hardware gun", rather than an actual Ithaca, it's real value is as a shooter, and I've got a nice piece of walnut sitting under the bench. Here's another photo:

The butt stock is hanging in the closet to let the last coat of finish dry, and I am currently checkering the forearm.
On your shells, are you able to load 2 1/2 or 2 3/4"? A flash in the pan, a puff of smoke, and a prayer to the great Lord on high...

2 3/4. reason I ask is I can get a crass for a decent price but have held off due to being uncertain about what is safe for the wire barrels.
Did you do a tru oil finish? |
