Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Produced by the famous Ithaca Gun Company from 1961 through 1978, the Ithaca Model 49 "Saddle Gun" holds a nostalgic place in American shooting culture as a classic starter and youth training firearm. Engineered to resemble an iconic lever-action repeater from a distance, the Model 49 ingeniously utilizes a lever-actuated martini-style falling block single-shot mechanism—cycling the under-lever drops the breech block down to expose the chamber for easy manual loading and automatic shell ejection. This simple, rugged design provided maximum safety, intuitive handling, and cheap plinking enjoyment for generations of American shooters.
