"Butchered" is a good description. I did not know Mr. Hunter, but he was not an expert of good guns. He had a checkbook. He could have been one of us but his expertise was in decoys. Too bad. His decoys made him much more profit than guns.

The only Magnum frame NID I have saved pictures of that has cocking indicators is the Chas. Askins/Elmer Keith serial number 500000 --

The pictures I've saved of 31, 32 and 38 don't appear to have indicators.

Serial number 500155 doesn't have indicators and by 500167 that I use to own was a post-1935 Field Grade.

Serial # 500,060 does have cocking indicators, a Grade 2E, 10, 32”, single non selective rear position trigger

PS. I noticed when using my search function today on SXS Ithaca Magnums, it was stated that 34” barrels were offered, if this correct, I have yet to see one
Does anyone else have record of a 34” Ithaca Magnum, or any 34” Ithaca SXS?

I was told just about all the stuff at the Mount Crawford auction was stuff he’d bought from Julia’s or RIA or whatever that were never unboxed . I didn’t know the guy either but 35 years ago for lack of a better term “we ran in the same circles”.

Do you really believe that Charlie Hunter or his successors opened the boxes and found screw in chokes in guns he bought from RIA or Julia's? I mean "all of them"? What circles were they that you two guys ran in and never met?

He supposedly was a wheel so to speak at Shenandale and in that time period I was there quite a bit . Who’s to say he didn’t know they had screw ins when he bought them . All I can say is what I was told be it fact or fiction .
