Your Flues Model Ithaca is from long before the introduction of progressive burning smokeless powder, high velocity, 12-gauge 3-inch loads. At the time your Flues was made, the heaviest 12-gauge loads our North American ammunition companies offered were 3 1/2 drams of bulk smokeless powder or 28-grains of dense smokeless powder, such as Infallible or Ballistite, pushing 1 1/4 ounce of shot. Those loads could be had in 2 3/4-inch or longer shells. As I've stated many times, those longer shells offered more/better wadding.







From the 1926 introduction of the NID, Ithaca promoted their 10-gauge NID Super-10 as their answer to the Super-Fox and the Long-Range --





In 1932 Ithaca introduced their Magnum-10 built on the longer/heavier NID magnum frame.



Later, Ithaca dropped the standard-frame Super-10 and began offering a Magnum-12 built on the magnum-frame.





One of these magnum-frame NID 12-gauge 3-inch guns is what you need as an Ithaca companion to a Super-Fox and a Long-Range.
