I was just reading Mr Snyder's great book on the history of the Ithaca Gun Company - great book.
in his interview with Sheldon Smith there is a reference to Ithaca's answer to the cross over stock- which Mr. Smith called the "one eyed" stock. He said that hundreds were made and they never received a complaint that they did not work for the shooter.
Does anyone have a good picture of a known to be factory done "one eyed" stock?

thank you - should have known you would have this some where
that is what i was picturing from the book's description
very different from the one on my Super Ten- so - I am right that this one was a one of adaptation
so it will become the pattern to restock this one

I am not so much afraid it will break as I am that it would slap me upside of the face something wicked. That's why I haven't shot it.

I'll bring it to the next Southern SxS. You can shoot it there.
