Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have a Ithaca/SKB that has different barrel and forearm from original (200 barrel and 100 forearm). Shoots good and looks good. But I was wondering if identifiable from serial number or other piece of information from receiver only. S 520xxxx...I am thinking S may designate 200 series. Although different serial numbers barrel and receiver do have the S marking where forearm does not. I am not sure how common barrel, forearms, receivers can match up but this one does. My goal is to find beaver forearm and matching hardware for this barrel/receiver but I know not such an easy task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Billy, All of the Ithaca /SKB's of the period that we use in CAS are based on the same receiver. They made some minor changes (sometimes not so minor, like single to double lug) on that receiver throughout the years that it was produced, but the basic design of the receiver was unchanged. Each gun was hand finished and the barrels were fit to the receivers one at a time, so each one is slightly different. YES, sometimes a barrel will interchange with another gun and sometimes it wont... But there is No Way that you can predetermine IF a barrel will fit on a receiver by using the Model or serial number. You just have to try it and see how close it is and if it can be made to work. As you know, there are two types of forearms, splinter and beavertail. And two types of forearm Hardware, ejector and non-ejector.......... For your situation I think the easiest solution would be to have a new wood forearm made to fit the hardware that is on your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckwagon McTaggart Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 My model 150 has an S prefix on the s/n, S511xxxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks Sam and Chuck... Having several SKBs between Sassy and I to examine, I have noticed there is often difference in shape of cocking pieces. But this could be in one particular's smith work to another. Some are more pointed where another may be very rounded. And, years ago I did have one that had entirely different lug system than most seen today. Beaver to fit my hardware would be great, but where is this found? As to S, could it be that designated the beaver type forearm/hardware? Doubt it, but if Chuck has S on 150 and we know most 200's had S then just maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Billy, The "pointy" cocking levers are on guns with Ejectors (like the 200E) and the "rounded" are non ejector (like the 100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the SASS Merchant Corner, I'm pretty sure there is a vendor there that can fix you up. And there are plenty of other Stock Makers that could do the job. Or go Low Tech and put a leather wrap on it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Billy I have 3 SKB’s 100, 150, and a new uncut 200. The 100 has a beaver tail fore end and the serial number on the fore end is different from the receiver. I never noticed it till just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I just bought the wood, didn't ask about hardware. Did see some for sale on evilbay. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Billy, over on the E selling site there is a Beaver for end with everything you need LS1588 Ithaca/SKB 12 gauge is the title. Price is fair considering there are very few parts available. It will take some fitting to the barrels but it will definitely work Dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that point I could make the exterior to the customers specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Billy, your splinter hardware does not work for a beavertail , most pieces needed for BT are longer than splinter. the BT I told u about is pricey but I have sold the iron piece alone for $150 because they were so hard to get and had to pay almost that just to have them on hand. Trust me, buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got cha.....I assume the inletting would really not stray much from your set-up for a splinter, just change in your cut/shape of wood.....a wider splinter, so to steak. cool. This would certainly save one from investing in the extra hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
