Hey guys I’ve got a friend who got the “ultimatum” today...wife says he has to sell a few to get a few... So I know shotguns can be mild to wild and was hoping to talk to someone about these. He has 2 nice Ithaca 100’s both in 20ga. One I think must have been shorter barrels from factory and he said that they had a smith reduce the other. I think they are both about 25” Nice guns! They’ve been hunted with a little bit, woodcocks in MI looked like light weekends...not much wear. Both have fiber optic sights installed. Bluing is good and bores are nice
Then he has one lafever nitro express 12ga that I’d regard as a “wall hanger” although it probably shoots....it’s been packed quite a bit, typical loss if bluing and very faint checkering.
Anyway I don’t know where to start for him price wise. They have soft cases but no hard cases. Not trying to retire but certainly not trying to give them away either. Wish I wouldn’t have picked up the Ithaca.
If at first you don't succeed; shoot, shoot again

Boy, I'd certainly be interested in an Ithaca Model 100, 20 ga, IF they had 28" barrels. Sigh...

When these guns were produced they made a 25” SK/SK or IC/IC and advertised it as the ultimate fast pointing quail gun. I don’t know what the value is, they’re great shotguns but the short barrels are a tough sell these days. I have a 200 12ga with the 25” SK/SK boring and I’ve killed a train car load of pheasants and quail with it over the years.
I know a few years ago the CAS guys were buying up a bunch of the SKB doubles to cut off short for cowboy games. Might find an outlet among that group.

Those 100s are normally starting at around $500. 25" is, I believe what mine has and it is ic/mod. Could be 26". I bet his are also unless they are the skeet/woodcock guns. They have a slight tendency to crack stocks so check closely.
