Agree. Never seen a striker bound NID, and I'll bet Drew doesn't have any photos of a blown up NID, either.


I've never owned any Ithaca doubles, so am not qualified to offer an answer. Wasn't the NID developed, in part, as a result of weakness in earlier flues receivers? The resultant strength of the NID is well documented, I just haven't been able to put my hands on a nice 16 or 20 to see if I like them. Nice thread and looking forward to the next matchup. I agree with above poster's comments regarding the wonderful feel of a small frame Fox double.
