Was Ithaca Imported guns were of higher quality than the shotguns SKB imported on their own in the later years.
Ithaca sent 30% of the SKB guns back to Japan due to quality control issues.

I'm not sure where you're getting your statistics from, Doc, but I will bump this fellow's ad up and say that I've owned and hunted with Ithaca-imported SKB's for over 40 years. I have friends who have done the same. All of our guns have been extremely reliable and built with high quality.

WOW NICE GUN! Likely I am wrong, but the wood on the Ithaca always looked like it was of a higher grade.

No doubt the needed quality control issues were corrected and the shotguns shipped back to Ithaca for distribution. Doc

Doc, I believe you are having difficulties making your point. I think I know what you are trying to say but I will not put the words in your mouth. Bump for a really nice gun. I'm not sure where you're getting your statistics from, Doc, but I will bump this fellow's ad up and say that I've owned and hunted with Ithaca-imported SKB's for over 40 years. I have friends who have done the same. All of our guns have been extremely reliable and built with high quality.
