I was in a gun shop today, and the folks there knew about my weakness for Ithacas, so he brought out a Mod. 51 12 ga. for me to fondle.
Now I've got the shakes - been too long since I bought a gun! :lol:
On the serious side, I am not a big auto shooter, although we bought one for the wife, and I kinda like it.
What are the pluses and minuses of the Mod. 51?
Talk me out of it (or into it, whatever the case may be)
A flash in the pan, a puff of smoke, and a prayer to the great Lord on high...

Don't know any minus's, but a couple plus's off the top of my head are 1. You so deserve another gun, and 2. You can't afford not too ;)

Probably going to have to talk yourself out of it cause they were good guns. On the downside, parts might becoming a bit difficult to find.

Think that I might have myself talked into this, but I did just come across a Crass that I couldn't pass up.
I'll call the fellow Thurs and see what kind of price I can get him down to.

Yet another example of Ithaca needing a work horse auto in the lineup. ;)

Oh, well, I guess I just wasn't quick enough...
Went in to buy the Mod. 51 today, and he had already sold it :cry:
