You can post that as a Wanted ad and not FOR SALE.

There is one on Gunbroker but its less than perfect, a kit build and the builder felt the need to stamp 'Ithica' and HAWKEN on the lock plate. Nice bore though.

Thanks for the Info I will relist. Yep its a crying same that the kit builder didnt even take time to look at the barrel before Spelling "Ithica" wrong.....we would have to find an OEM lock to change it out!! How embarrassing!

Thanks! I always thought and have read that Navy Arms bought all the left over Ithaca parts for their first Hawken rifles. Only the barrel markings were different. I could be wrong though.

BS2366, you are correct including the fact that they were "Made in USA".

I thought so. The older Navy Arms Hawken I have has a US made barrel.

Douglas barrels with no foreign proof marks, same as Ithaca.

I have a factory built gun in .45 cal I'd sell. If it's of any interest to you I'll post pictures with all the required info.

ETA...Sorry...I have a TC factory gun...not an Ithaca.

Who made the Western Arms barrels that Uberti used for the Sante Fe guns?

Andrew Jackson was a poor speller, and he once said, "A man has to be stupid if he can't spell a word more than one way." Long ago, when I was in the army, I saw a carefully painted sign that said, "This pier is strickly off limits."
You would think that with smart phones and computers, errors in spelling and grammar would be diminished, but the mistakes seem to be increasing.

I always thought they were built by Uberti.

I always thought they were built by Uberti.

I just wondered if they might be left overs from the Navy Arms purchase of Ithaca barrels.
