ITHACA GUN COMPANY LEFEVER NITRO SPECIAL 1940 16 GA

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 553967



Crafted in 1940, this Ithaca Lefever Nitro Special is a classic American side-by-side shotgun chambered in 16 gauge, embodying the rugged reliability and understated elegance of early 20th-century field guns. Featuring 28-inch blued steel barrels, it offers a balanced swing and smooth handling, ideal for upland game hunting. The boxlock action is robust and simple, with double triggers and extractors, reflecting the utilitarian design favored by sportsmen of the era. Its walnut stock and forearm showcase modest checkering and a warm patina earned through decades of honest use. As one of the final years of Nitro Special production, this shotgun represents a transitional moment in American gunmaking—where craftsmanship met affordability, and tradition held firm in the face of modernity.
