    Well frankly no, I wasn't aware of that. At the time of my last post I had just received delivery of the shotgun. This is also my 1st Ithaca and have not had time to examine said gun. I am an admitted novice, I am also very eager to learn. You'll have to wait for my ability to catch up with my enthusiasm.......

      Does anyone else on this board have one of these Ithaca riots they would be willing to share pics of?

        ww2imposter, I don't have one but I do have WAR DEPARETMENT Technical Manual (TM 9-285) dated 1945 and it covers your gun as well as several other shotguns. I found it most helpful breaking my Winchester 97 down and putting back together. There is a source for these training manuals but I can't find the site at this moment. You can probably find a copy that has been through a copy machine but they aren't as clear as the real thing. Manual states that a riot gun would have a 20" barrel cyl. bore and possibly a bayonet attachment.
        Pictures or very clear as well as instructions.


        If push comes to shove, send me an email and I'll try it in my copy machine and mail same to you are maybe scan it in computer and send msame.

            You gotta love it when a plan comes together. Got the doner gun this AM and swapped over all pertinent parts. Enjoy the pics.....

              Nice job. It looks great. But I suspect the number "4" on the barrel near the serial number is the mark for "FULL" choke. Can you tell if the barrel was cut down?

                In that very small serial range they were all cut down, probably by an arsenal.

                  Yes, to the best of my knowledge/research (limited at best), these were all cut down.
