Ithaca model 49

[Pwilliams1]

My father has a single shot Ithaca m49 that he bought sometime in the early 70's. his 60th birthday is coming up and I would like to get the gun back in running order for him. Anybody have any idea where I could pick up some parts for it, or have any experience with them?

The gun needs a good cleaning, a new forearm, forearm band, and front sight. I haven't had it apart yet. I know the gun fires, but doesn't eject most of the time.

I think it would be a cool project and a nice surprise for him. I know there's virtually no monetary value to the gun, but it's not about that.

Any help would be appreciated.

The good cleaning might solve the ejection problem.

PERFECT!

Thank you. I'm thinking the same thing about the cleaning and ejection.
