Good point, oh "Hunter who falls from the skies" (and hopes his chute pops open when the static line is tightened) . As my old hunting pal- 82nd. A/B once told me: "At Jump school at Bragg, they had a motto on the wall, in the hut where we packed our 'chutes-- 'only 2 things fall from the sky- fools and birdshit.
I have a pal who has just about every 'Nam era weapon that was in service, by both US troops, and "Charlie" and he has a class 3 FFL license too. I'll ask him if he has a "duck-billed" muzzled 12 gauge, and if so, we will test it at 0 dark 30 hrs.. Will report our findings, but as Winter has hammered its way through the barn door, we'll wait for Spring, and warmer weather.
No one that I can discern so far as question the 10 gauge M37 Ithaca statement. Did Ithaca tool up for Uncle Sam to make that pumpgun in 10 gauge- if so- 3&1/2 Mag- like their Special NID model of many years ago-- a M37 in a 10 gauge 3&1/2" Mag loading would kick like a constipated mule- RWTF
