..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................The Ithaca model 51 was not a very dependable gun, according to
Bruce Buck, who used it extensively for competition shooting.
He broke many parts with it, and had trouble keeping it
operating. One part subject to break is the action bars that
push back the bolt upon firing. These are not available now
as parts and will have be welded if broken or otherwise build
some replacements.
( from a shotgunworld forum).....................................................................................................................................................................................................Likewise, post your question(s) about your Ithaca Model 51 on SGW's Ithaca Shotguns forum (not the official Ithaca Gun Company's forum as your gun predates this company). Again, the regulars there have a lot of information and advice.
