ITHACA MINIER 16 GAUGE

The Ithaca Minier was offered from 1906 to 1908 and was the first shotgun they offered that used coil springs to drive the hammers. This example, with twist steel barrels and extractors, likely a field grade, has fair to good finish condition but has a few mechanical faults. Mechanically, the shotgun is slightly off face and the barrel to frame fit is somewhat loose, the stock is also loose in its heading with what appears to be oil intrusion in the head. There is also built up solder on the upper tang where the stock bolt would come through, it is unknown what this was for, but can be assumed to be related to the looseness of the stock and the loose trigger guard.
