10 Gauge, A View from the Past

[Big D]

32's and K80's are great target guns. The 3200 has many of the same features. My 3200 is perhaps the gun I shoot better than any other. Scored a punch last weekend at a 5 stand shoot in Mich with it.

An R-32 , K-32 or K-80 and the K-20 aren’t bad as dove guns if a person is so inclined . While I’ve never been to South America for dove if I had my druthers and was certain quality shells could be had a pair of K-20’s with 20 and 28 gauge barrels would be the thing as far as I’m concerned !

Had some time today and looked for some Ithaca Gun Co. Magnum-Ten ads. From my limited search it doesn't seem they launched an advertising blitz for the big gun. In the July 1932, sporting magazines an ad like this appeared with the launch articles --

From then on it seems from my limited search that Ithaca Gun Co. ran a smaller Magnum-Ten ad each August.
