i'd like to know that the 3" chambers are factory, the flues is not a design for heavy loads.

There were 887 Ithaca NID Magnum-10s produced but scattered in among those were 87 Magnum-12s, so I'm not a good enough math guy to figure the odds of consecutive numbers showing up.
July 1932, National Sportsman, Magnum 10.jpeg Allegedly there were only five hundred and some NID Super-10s produced. Super 10 Ad, American Rifleman September 1929.jpg 1936 was the last year the Super-10 was carried in the Ithaca Gun Co. catalogs. The Magnum 12s first appeared in the 1937 Ithaca Gun Co. catalogs. However, I've recorded Magnum 12s as low as 500144 so either they were making them earlier or the magnum frames were getting used way out of order. |

500,834 sold today at Morphy's. $2000 plus the juice, way too much in my opinion.

Isnt that about what a roughed up NID 10 mag brings though ? Although this one sold $2500 but I wonder if it brought less because of the single trigger and the restoration job ? http://www.dismalriverarmory.com/sho...canid10ga.html Its still listed on their site but it was marked on their GI listing months ago . I dont know if its because the way sellers take pictures but alot of the NID magnums look to have noticeable cast off and being left handed that would probably be awkward . Then again it just may be angle of the pictures . |

I would not mind owning a big Ithaca 10 gabut have never committed on one...I like reading about them first 10 gauges they were almost legends in there time...I should have said they were legends in there time... 10 gauges shooting 8 ga loads....now you have lots of 12 ga s shooting 8 ga loads....2 1/4 to 2 1/2 ounces of shot...rough on the shoulder for sure...the heavest load back in the heh day of the 8 ga was a 7 dram of black powder and 2 1/4 ounce of lead shot....this was a factory load...I guess some reloaders may have loaded some heaver loads....I have shot some 3 ounce loads in the 8 ga and the 10 ga but they were my own reloads.... Charlie....

I owned a Field Grade Magnum-10 from 1985 to 2001 and never hunted with it, or even fired a 3 1/2 inch Magnum shell with it. Bought it at a little shop along the coast of Maine. Sold it to the Hartmann brothers. Saw it one final time at a Vintage Cup at Orvis Sandanona where it was in Steve Lamboy's Ithaca Classic Doubles tent.

I want to try some of the boss bismuth 10 gauge loads , I think they are still in development . They were originally going with a 1 3/4oz load @ 1350 fps but now its a 2 1/16 oz load @ 1300 fps . From what ive read the guys using the boss bismuth really like the shot . They say its more spherical than traditional bismuth . |
