new found love for the 10 gauge short

[Cold Spring]

Ithaca NID Super 10 at work two weeks ago in upstate NY. Weight just a little short of 9 pounds with 32-inch tubes. I usually shoot Nice for long range work but these birds were decoyed and lighter loads of bismuth 2's and 4's worked just fine.

decoy spread at dawn

[10 bore]

Frank, Nice home coming trip for an Ithaca.

Glad to see we still have birds someplace. They disappeared from the fields around here the September day I put my 10 gauge Clabrough back together.

The Current season ends tomorrow here (on Thursday a few towns south). Oh well - there is always the March season. And at least one of the Parker 10's will be ready next fall.

When my former employer's shop had a relationship with Steve Lamboy and ICD guns were coming in on special order on a regular basis, I decided to order a Super Ten, which was in the prototype stages. I talked to Steve at Millbrook when he had the prototype ready for inspection. He had not built the barrels, used real Ithaca barrels, but the rest of the gun was new production and beautiful. My order, which was never completed, was a Grade 4 lightweight, just under 8 pounds, 28" lightly choked bird barrels, straight grip and splinter forend. I can't recall the other specifics, but I still have a copy of the order around here somewhere. It was quite a disappointment when Steve closed up shop before the Supers were built.
