Price check for a Ithaca M6 Survival Rifle - .22 Hornet & .410

Question

A friend of mine has one of these and wants to sell it so I wanted to check if anyone could give me a price idea. They seem to be pretty rare as I couldnt find any in the auction sites even when looking at the ones that actually sold in the last 90 days. His is in excellent condition probably around 90-95%. Send me your email and I can send you pics if needed.

I also read somewhere that there are additional requirements to own one of these similar to those of a full auto. Is this correct? If so, what is the reason for this since the Springfield model doesnt require it. Is it because of its smaller size?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Unless I'm mistaken the Ithaca version was the military configuration....which means he's got a 14 inch rifle and shotgun combo, both restricted. This is going to fall under the Class III heading and it's going to be taxed. If he's not currently legal with possession of this firearm, you are exposing him to some undue legal scrutiny by discussing it here.

Edit: In that case, you not only need to get approved and buy the stamp for the Class III, you need to get it imported as well. I'd advise you find an importer who can handle the Class III, not going to be cheap. I have imported several C&Rs and it was a bit of a process. It likely came out of a USAF or USN plane....that's where they were issued originally, especially the early Ithaca models.
