Ithaca Mag 10
 

I have been looking for a 10 gauge side by side and came across this Thursday night. I went and picked it up. I did not really need to buy another gun this year but I could not pass this one up. It is in good mechanical condition and the wood shows some good honest wear. The only bad parts are a mismatched forearm( I think it is from a super 10) and the stock is a little loose my guess wood be shrinkage due to our dry weather. 32'' barrels chambered for 3 1/2'' and extractors. 10lbs 6oz. It is a field grade. How much do you think the mismatched forearm effects value? If I could find the original that would be something.

I forgot to attach pictures.

lucky you...i ve been wanting one of those guns for a long time theres not many of them out there...i ve got my eye on a beligum made 10 double 3 1/2.....charlie

Charlie I knew when I saw it for sale I could not let it go. Even know I should not be buying anymore guns right now.

Wow, a Magnum-Ten with a butt plate!! I've got a No. 2 Super-Ten with a butt plate, but don't believe I've ever seen an Ithaca NID Magnum-Ten without a recoil pad. Pretty nice piece of wood for a Field Grade!! Congrats!!

Good For You... What is the Serial Number of that gun??? I Have both forearms in my hands now. I think that your forearm is correct as the Super 10 has a different latch, also the engraving on your forearm matches the magnum forearms that I have... However my suppers are all graded guns, and the Mags are all Field grade guns. The gun was built for big loads, even the supers will shoot heavy loads. :)

I have seen a lot of Ithaca's with slightly loose stocks.

Thanks for the information guys. It was bought by a gentlemen who has used it to hunt wildfowl for 20 years and he bought it from a guy who did the same so it has been out almost every season for the past 40 years. He said he was tired of carrying to the blind so he wanted to sell it. The gun is serial number 500838 the forearm is 467000 range that is why I thought it might be from a super 10. Mr. Romig do you know why the stocks have this problem?

Serial Number would make your forearm from a Supper Ten... It is a very late gun. I have #500909 and it has a snap on forearm, with extractors where all other Magnum guns that I have are ejectors with a latch forearm.

I have owned several Ithaca NID 10ga guns in super 10 and magnum and I have never encountered a loose gun. I would consider these guns the benchmark for American 10 gauge SxS guns in both short and long chamber guns. I have shot them both for all of my short life and I know a few goose hunters that have 50+ years on a single gun. I don't think one human can wear an Ithaca NID 10ga out. The rotary bolt can wear with time but you cannot find a better 10ga in my opinion. The short 10 Ithaca is a favorite of mine and is a very affordable 10ga. gun. If you find a good one then buy it!
