OP Old Joe Sidelock Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 236 northern u.s.	To settle a gun club discussion , do Ithaca NIDs have a hammer nose that acts as a firing pin, or a seperate firing pin that is hit by the hammer ? Thank you.

The NID is a very stout action- John Olin didn't "upsize" his fledgling M21 to handle a 3.5" 10 magnum shell in 1932-33- he went to friend Lou Smith at Ithaca and they designed a NID beefed up for that "Roman Candle" shell- I have a hunting pal with a 1938 era 12 NID Grade 3E- 28" M&F, DT- and I am first in line if he ever decides to sell it- not likely- darn fine boxlock doubles, IMO!!
