Sling on an Ithaca NID?

[Bassman018]

Hey I want to put a sling on my Ithaca NID, I just don't want to screw into the wood or anything. Do i have any options? Also the gun is from 1927, so that's my reason for not wanting to screw into the wood.

MY buddy had one,
I think it was this one........

[Jim]

Yes, but let me find out from my buddy if that is the one he had on his shotgun.

This is more like what you are after: https://www.basspro.com/RedHead-Padded-Gun-Slings-Shotgun-or-Rifle/product/19780/-675778#prodDescription

You need one that has a loop on both ends. One cinches around the barrel and the other around the stock.

I hate drilling holes in the stocks but I love having slings on my guns. Once it's done I'm always very happy.

I think that that one from bass pro will fit the bill, thanks guy! also does anyone know how to determine the choke on a shotgun?

That is what you need. Had one like that for years on my old mossberg.

If it is not stamped on the barrels, you will have to mic the ID of them at the end to see what the chokes are.

What do you mean by "mic"?

 

[Quackrstackr]

Slang term for using some sort of precision measuring device.

A dial caliper will probably get you close enough.

What gauge shotgun do you have? If it a 12ga you can use a dime. If the dime goes most of the way in the barrel it's Open or IC, if the dime goes part way in the barrel MOD, If the dime barely goes in the barrel it's Full choke.

It's a 12, I put the dime through it, and it went all the way throught the right barrel, and it went all the way down with the exception of a 1/4 inch (approximately) on the left, any ideas?

I would guess it's IC and Mod. How long are the barrels?

Hi Your Ithaca NID will have the choke marked on the barrel flats. The numbers 1 thru 4 will correspond to
different degrees of choke. 2 is for modified 4 for full and so on. Hope this helps
