Ithaca Mag 10

[Richard Flanders]

So, how about some pictures of all these Ithaca 10's???

The mismatched forend on the gun in question could be from an Ithaca other than a Super Ten. I have not measured a 12 against a Super 10, but I bet the forearms are identical. By the way, I also have a high condition Mag Ten with buttplate. They didn't make many that way, but they made a few. My AYA lightweight Matador ten was a buttplate gun, shot it for years, and I never really missed a recoil pad. Dave Lien, my non ejector Mag Ten has a latch forend. I wonder if the serial number range determines whether a latch was used on non ejector guns?

Eldons gun is avery late gun, I guess after ww11 and most likely made up from parts on hand. Maybe some one lost the forearm, and this was the only replacement. 40 years ago Lefever arms (repair Shop) located at Lee Center NY. was replacing ten Ga. rotary bolts with NOS bolts.They told me then that they had bought all the remaining parts for the NID tens from Ithaca.
Ithaca made less than one thousand guns in the 500,000 ser. Number range and some of them were 12 Ga. guns.
