Ithaca came out a few years after the 49 started being sold with a Model 49R which was a lever repeater. I wonder if perhaps there was some sort of agreement between the two companies in which Stevens perhaps put their name on a gun that they paid Ithaca to manufacture. Stevens made, or at least sold, an identical gun as the Stevens Model 89 for a few years after Ithaca discontinued their model. That is why it has a look and texture different from the blued steel barrel. Someone on the internet referred to it as a zinc alloy. I have seen a lot of mistakes made regarding the information about the receiver/frame of the Ithaca 49. Tthe 49 was completely made in the USA but the Ithaca Model 72 Lever repeater was made by Erma Werke with the wood put on in USA. I was told by a gunsmith, via email, in Ithaca New York that he was a gunsmith for Ithaca for 28 years and that the blonde wood was elm wood as he remembers from what was marked on the boxes of wood coming in to the plant. It was originally made with walnut stock and forearm but at some point the walnut furniture was dropped in favor of some very blonde wood. To add a bit of information about this firearm I can confirm from ads in two different guns related mazazines that the Ithaca 49 first came out in late 1961 and the MSRP was $19.95. 22 Saddlegun which was sold from late 1961 to about 1979.
I admit I am slightly obsessive and one gun I love, even though I am a 63 year kid, is the Ithaca 49. that way if it gets a tiny bit loose you tighten the set screw at the front sight and it wedges everything in tightly. also, if you are careful and cut the divet slightly rearward for the sight set screw you can make the band want to walk backwards so if it does slip it can only slip rearward and make the D peg area tighter and more secure. File a small notch for the set screw to sit in. You will get a firmer forend and pretty near rock solid sightpost that wont deviate. the front sight barrel band is set better by making a divet in the barrel for the set screw to sit in. The paper goes between wood and barrel to snug up the barrel band and the jbweld snugs up the peg so it cant wobble as much. Loose sight/Barrel band/Fore end: Shim the wood foregrip with paper, and use jb weld to fill in the wood at the irregular shaped D looking peg at the front of the reciever. Remove buttpad and remove stock, unscrew metal thingie to release hammer spring tension. Hammer spring is located in the stock bolt area. Dont eff with it unless you have a reason to remove the barrel, its a lot of work for nothing.ġ1 - Trigger and hammer remove by driving out the pins. the fake tube is attached to the wood.ĩ - Remove barrel band and the wood slides right away.ġ0 - Barrel removes with lots of work. Dont lose parts, the extractor can fly out when you remove the pin.Ĩ - To remove barrel, remove front sight via screw under it. Once tension is released you can drive out the really small long retaining pin at the farthest most part of the receiver.ħ - Now the extractor retaining pin, which also is the barrel retaining pin can be removed. That releases tension on the extractor trip.
DONT LOSE PARTS, THEY FLY OUT OF THE BOLT.ĥ - Now unscrew the hex screw under the receiver. mess with it until it falls out and the pivot pin just glides out.Ĥ - You can now remove the bolt/block thingie. If it doesnt, then the pin up in the little hole didnt fall out yet. Rattle the bolt/block thingie until the spring and small retaining pin fall out.ģ - The bolt pivot pin should come out now. There is one rounded spring loaded pin pointed toward the trigger, and one spring loaded pin up in the hole in the falling block. Make sure you remove the pins in the correct direction: Drive from the side without the 3 little chisel like marks or you will enlarge the holes more than needed.ġ - First remove the pin securing the leverĢ - Remove lever and make sure you dont lose parts.
