waxing eloquent in auction descriptions
quote:
Ithaca model 49 single-shot lever action .22 rifle. If you have not had the opportunity to observe the model 49 Ithaca you would have trouble imagining that Ithaca would make a rifle of such an economical nature. Perhaps, it was the 1850's and 60's and their low ebb in the gunmakers art that allowed Ithaca to offer a single-shot .22 that looked like something out of a B movie Western. Under the barrel is a feed tube to give the appearance that the lever does something more than close the action which it does not. The receiver is painted. The overall appearance does somewhat give the impression that this is a lever action cowboy gun, and in truth the action is sufficient to provide reliability.
These rifles were made from about 1961 to 1978
