HI,
NEED SOME HELP !!
I HOPE THIS IS OK AND THE RIGHT PLASE TO POST THIS??
pics. of old lifter..
Having trouble with a ITHACA MODEL 72 lever action .22LR.
Carrier is bad. Have not been able to find one.
I have tried several parts supply houses and several of the old ITHACA repair shops.
I either need a machining print or another GOOD carrier to copy.
I have a machinist / gunsmith willing to make one.
He tried coping the old one, it was to bad of shape to copy!!
I NEED a parts rifle with working carrier / receiver...
or a working rifle !!!
Found a couple rifles but they were having the same problem as I am having with my rifle!!!
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT:
Ithaca Model 72 is a variant of the Erma Werke of Dachau, Germany Model EG-71..
Made from 1973 to 1979, this rifle was offered in .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum only.
It had an 18 1/2" barrel. The lever gun was designed by Erma of Germany.
Some years after Ithaca stopped production Iver Johnson picked it up and marketed it as the "Wagonmaster".
My gunsmith had a Iver Johnson " Wagonmaster "in the shop when he was working on my rifle.
He told me it used a lifter- not a carrier to cycle the round.
Was told It is basically the same rifle that Henry is producing today.
Ordered a carrier from Henry ( H001) they are not the same!!
CELL # 1- 614 - FIVE, EIGHT, 0 - NINE 3 FIVE 3 ..
NO TEXTING PLEASE!!!
Thanks,
Gary
