We have a customer that comes in quite often and he's kinda into British doubles . Anyway one day he brought in a W&C Scott in a 10 gauge that he wanted us to get Danny Patton to bend the stock .

Now this thing had some monster heavy pipes on it and I made a comment about them being kinda stout . Come to find out this gun had left the factory originally with Damascus 8 gauge barrels which he also had and was sent back at a later date to be fitted with factory fluid steel 10 gauge barrels . I wish I had taken some pics of it as he has since sold it down the road .

I truly would like to have owned that gun !

The first listing for the Magnum-Ten shell I have is the April 1, 1932, issue of Western Ammunition for Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun. The Magnum-Ten appears in the second printing of Ithaca Gun Co.'s 1932 catalogue.





And thus began a misprint that stayed in Ithaca Gun Co. catalogues for years. Capt. Chas. Askins' Magnum-Ten was really a No. 4E. The good Captain did have a fully loaded NID 16-gauge that was a No. 5E. Both later resided with Elmer. The Magnum-Ten with its not to my taste restock is in the Elmer Keith diorama at the Cabela's in Boise, Idaho.
