Winchester may be closing, but Ithaca Guns is back in business. During the first weeks of 2006, the company geared up for resuming production of the classic Ithaca designs. The new guns are identical to those made in the past, but the use of better steel and new manufacturing processes will improve the quality. Ithaca is building variations of the Model 37 bottom-ejection pump and has plans to eventually redesign and build the Model 51 autoloader, the NID double and possibly the elaborate Knickerbocker trap design.

I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
I hope that Ithaca will make the Roadblocker again. I don't know what kind of market there would be for it. The folks that have the old ones seem to be hanging on to them. Haven't seen one for a long time.
