SKB SHOTGUNS

In 1966, SKB began producing shotguns for Ithaca Gun Company, producing a complete line of shotguns that included semi-automatic, side by side, single barrel and over & under models. The 1970's were highlighted by increased productivity in the factory with the inclusion of CNC machining. Over 95% of the factory's production was exported to the United States, Canada, Western Europe, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. In 1978, Ithaca Gun Company had filed for bankruptcy protection and SKB ceased production of the Ithaca branded models. SKB continued production and re-entered the US market in 1979 being represented by the Mitsui Company in Chicago, IL. This venture lasted only a few years as the US economy was retracting and interest rates were skyrocketing to over 20%... SKB produces several Over and Under shotguns including Field, Trap and Clay models as well as Side by Side and Semi-Automatic models. These guns are well known for their craftsmanship and use of high quality..
