Ithaca Mag 10

[B. Dudley]

The tang screws loosening up can cause an up and down movement in the stock head. Specifically the rear one.
If you find that tightening the screws takes care of it, then you know that is the issue or kind of the issue.
I say kind of because you also have to look at if the screws are correctly timed. Take the rear tang screw for example. Is the end of it finished flush with the upper tang? Or is it sunk down in below the level of the tang. If it is sunk down in, then it is loose for sure. But... If the screw is flush, and tightening it more (so that it sticks up above the tang) also tightens up the stock, then you know the issue is wood related as suggested above.
A way to remedy this situation could be to put some cards rock shims under the trigger plate tang or upper tang at the rear. This will allow you to tighten the screw more for a snug fit, yet not have the screw stick up above the tang.

The screws are down past where they should be so the wood is definitely loose.

The forearm is 467307 so if any of you have this gun maybe you have my forearm.

Brian I have a fix for the problems expect a delivery in about a month. After all I have to at least test fire it first.

Ithaca NID 467307 dates to way after the NID Super 10 was discontinued. I think it's likely a 12 gauge forend and was fitted to Eldon's gun.

There were only about 580 Super 10's made. Walter Snyder was very kind to do a count for me. Walter told me the factory records may have missed one or two. That makes them far more scarce than Ithaca Magnum 10's and, for those interested, than 12 gauge Super-Foxes (about 946 guns).

Thank you for the information on the number of Super tens. I did not know that they were so few... We have had a few, and as of late we have sold a couple.

Can you tell me how many of the Super tens were graded guns???
I did enjoy the article in the recent Double Gun Journal..

David, yeah I know you gents are Super 10 advocates. Walter doesn't have a count on the graded Super 10's. I'd estimate maybe 10-15% just extrapolating from the guns I've seen since I started actively looking for Super 10's about 8 years ago.

Charlie the info is too long to summarize and much of it is in Part 2 of the Double Gun Journal article that will be in its Summer edition, thus it isn't fair to the publishers to do it here. Part 1 is in the Spring 2014 edition that was released last month. Short answer is: they were made for the heaviest 2-7/8" loads and most of the Super 10's had very heavy choking.

I have a grade 2E choked .042 and .043, shoots nice and tight.

Some discussion here on the Super Ten and people reporting constrictions of .055 and .056.

Just my experience but many bore mikes will drift and read off when trying to read 10-gauge bores and chokes without calibrating separately for bore and also for choke.

I agree Frank. I was having a heck of a time measuring 10ga bores. So I called skeets and had him build me an oversized gauge for measuring these guns.
