I stopped in Millers Gun Center in New Castle Delaware today to buy reloading components etc. They has a very decent 10 bore Ithaca Flues Model on the rack. I'm an NID guy, but I want to mention it to the readers of this forum.I looked it over and it has 32" barrels with very nice bores--no dents. Blue had to be 85% and case colors around 35-40%. Toplever to the right. An old professional repair to the stock at the top near the action. The stock was almost 15" LOP with a non-original pad. Serial number 3049xx. All in all, I thought it a very good buy at $499. I have no interest or connection to this gun--but thought someone here might like it. If you by it--send your $10 to Dave!! John Miller is the owner, along with brother Robbie. 302-328-9747.

Been down under the consignment rack for about four months, Bill.

Checked it out again this evening. Case color coverage is higher than 40% but faded out to patina. Lot of light rust barrels but the original blue is intact and it sure ain't worn or scratched up. Pieces of stock head sheered off both sides and replaced. Stock is also loose but maybe glassbedding would fix that. Better buy than the "buff" Parker VH with the glossy barrel blue and a "depression" which looks like somebody wheel buffed the barrels with the forend on. Good looking AyA boxlock (maybe 4-53) and an Arrietta.
