Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca M-49 is a compact and distinctive lever-action rimfire rifle that reflects Ithaca Gun Company’s innovative approach to economical sporting arms during the mid-20th century. Chambered to accept .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, the M-49 offered notable versatility for plinking, training, and small-game use. Its 18-inch blued barrel contributes to a lightweight, well-balanced profile, while the simple lever-actuated action—operated by a large under-barrel lever—prioritizes reliability and ease of operation over mechanical complexity. This design made the M-49 especially appealing to new shooters and youth, while still remaining functional for experienced users.

This design made the M-49 especially appealing to new shooters and youth, while still remaining functional for experienced users.
The rifle’s traditional blade front sight and adjustable rear sight allow for practical accuracy within typical rimfire distances, and its smooth walnut straight-grip stock and forearm provide a classic appearance with comfortable handling. Unlike traditional tube-fed or magazine-fed .22 rifles, the M-49’s unconventional loading system and exposed mechanism give it a unique place among American rimfires. Though modest in features, the Ithaca M-49 is appreciated today for its quirky engineering, rugged simplicity, and role as an accessible, utilitarian rifle that exemplifies Ithaca’s willingness to depart from conventional designs.
