We share a love for big, long chambered waterfowl guns. My small gathering includes a 32", 3" chambered Super Fox, a 32", factory chambered 3", 3E L C Smith, a 32" A grade Fox with 3" chambers, and a 32" grade 3 Ithaca Super Ten, with 2 7/8" chambers. They all get used on ducks with appropriate loads. The Super Ten is the latest to reside here. I will shoot BOSS Cu plated bismuth in the HE Fox, but only reloads 1200 and under, with pressures in the 8000 psi range, in the others. There is substantial recoil in all three, even with the reloads, because of the stout payloads I use, but not harsh and no stock damage has resulted in the past 12-15 years of doing this.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan:
Remember the sleeved DH 10 GA that John Allen had for sale a bit ago in the PGCA site?
I almost bought it...
Remember the turkey hunting ex-GBI agent & the Boss shells...? Ridge
If all else fails-
move to Alaska....

Just a reminder,
Pressure is not the issue with Flues model, fluid steel, Ithaca’s.
It is recoil.
Stay away from heavy loads.
Out there doing it best I can.

I wonder about the drop dims as claimed on that gun. The DAH is said to be 2 1/8". I only own one NID but I don't recall ever seeing one stocked that straight. I couldn't shoot it well, for sure, if that measurement is accurate. It even looks like more than that in the pic, to me.

I find a lot questionable in RIA's description of that Magnum-12 NID. Doing local control off the barrels, assuming they are 30-inch as stated, it looks to me like a full 14-inch length-of-pull. Likewise, I doubt a magnum-frame NID could be as light as 7 pounds 14 ounces. From the Magnum-12s I've handled I would think that 7 should be an 8. Here are the double gun specs from 1940s era Ithaca Gun Co. catalogs -- ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/i4MRHMm.jpg)

Agreed on the weight.
Rather than this Ithaca, I had previously chosen the
Parker"Super 12"-rare as they were by Parker Bros.
This Parker graces the cover of the Winter 2021 issue of P Pages.
I have original 1939 Dealer/Jobber catalogs from Remington-Parker.
In their catalogs, R-Parker state that they will chamber to any
12 gauge chambering , including 3 inch, for Grades GH and above, at no additional charge.
I also think they offered that for VH grade guns, though not stated, also at no extra charge-which translates to all graded Parkers.
It seems that graded 3 in-2 7/8 in Remington-Parkers are just about as rare as the guns built by Parker Bros. A puzzlement
answered by the Depression, new Federal waterfowl game laws, and the droughts in Canada during the 1930s.
