Vintage Ithaca SKB Model 280 Double Barrel 12 Gauge w/ Ejectors & Original box, Owner's Manual SOLD
Description: This is a beautiful and minty Ithaca SKB Model 280 double barrel shotgun with ejectors in 12 gauge, complete with the original serial numbered box and owner's manual. This Model 280 was built in Japan by the SKB firm and imported by Ithaca between 1969 and 1978. This is a very well-built and attractive shotgun with all the features most shooters and hunters look for. This 1970's vintage Model 280 has 26" inch barrels with a solid rib and are choked "Modified" and Improved Cylinder". It has automatic ejectors which was an added cost option as well as a single selectable trigger. The tang mounted safety is also automatic; each time the shotgun is opened the safety returns to the "ON" position. All of the metal parts are factory blued, and the receiver features fine-line scroll and game scene machine engraving. This Ithaca SKB has a factory checkered Walnut stock set with a straight grip English-style buttstock with an Ithaca-SKB branded buttplate and white spacer. The keel of the buttstock also has a factory inlaid brass initial plate which is still blank. The length of pull is 14.25 inches to the end of the buttplate. The drop at the heel is 2.5 inches, and this Model 280 weighs in at 6lbs and 13 ounces. As I mentioned before, this shotgun is in excellent condition and mechanically in like-new condition. This shotgun has not been fired in decades and outside of the factory test firing, has maybe had a half dozen shells fired thru it at most. The face of the receiver shows no shell wear and no wear rings from fired primers. There was no carbon or evidence of having been fired at all in the receiver. Both barrels have minty and bright bores. They are free from dents, dings, bulges, or pitting. The factory blue finish rates 98% and shows no carry wear or thinning of the finish. Under close examination there are a few tiny handling marks, but they do not take anything away from the beautiful appearance of this double. The factory gold-finished trigger rates 99% with no finish loss. The original gloss finished stock set is also in excellent condition. The checkering is clean and crisp, and does not show any wear or soiling. There are some small handling/storage marks if you look very closely but both the forearm and buttstock are 100% free from cracks or repairs. The original gloss clearcoat finish on the wood rates 99% with no spider cracking or chipping. The factory "Ithaca-SKB" branded buttplate is in like-new condition, and was fit very nicely to the butt. Another thing that is noteworthy on this Model 280 is the condition of all of the screws in this shotgun. All of the action and triggerguard screws are still timed the same direction and have never had a screw driver on them since leaving the factory. The stock hardware is also in minty condition. This shotgun comes complete with the original box that is serial numbered to the gun and the original owner's manual. The box has some water damage but the factory stick-on end label is still intact and legible. Everything on this Ithaca SKB works 100% like the day it left the factory. If you are a collector of "vintage" double guns, or someone looking for a clean & classy double barrel 12 gauge to take afield, this Model 280 would be a great addition.
