Ithaca Turkeyslayer Storm Problem

[Cruiser]

I have an Ithaca Turkeyslayer Storm, 12g. I believe made around 2003. The forearm slide broke in half?? Anybody else have heard of this problem? Love the gun; but never seen this happen on a pump before.
Thanks

I've seen it, a buddy of mine had the same issue with a turkey slayer. He's Bowguy on here.

No help from current Ithaca owners either; had to buy a new slide tube and pay $17 shipping for less than a 1lb shipment.

Contact Les Hovencamp, former head gunsmith of the original  Ithaca company before it went to Ohio. If the action bar separated from the metal tube inside the forend, he can braze it up. Had that happen to one of mine after 40 years of use. He's at https://ithacagunrepair.com/

Thanks for the tip; will save the info, hoping I don't need it again. Went ahead and bought the replacement part to get it back in service
