I recently purchased a Field grade Ithaca 10 gauge magnum SXS. It will never be a collector but have always wanted one. At some point in its life someone I believe may have replaced the butt stock with a Monte Carlo type stock that has a huge amount of drop. I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of a replacement butt stock. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks Phil

You may well have a very unusual "factory" stock, or it could be a replacement as you say. Ithaca made some wierd and wonderful stuff for their customers, such as Lon B. Smith's trap guns -- or the original Chas. Askins Magnum-Ten -- It would be great if you post some pictures of your gun. If you provide the complete serial number perhaps Walter Snyder can provide some information on the gun.

My gosh, Phil, post some pictures before trashing your stock. Researcher gave you some great information. Your stock may be factory. Or it may be a well made early custom stock worth saving.

The S/N is 500210. I will get some pictures later tonight and post. I have always wanted one since about 1971. A friend came back from Vietnam as a paraplegic. He loved to hunt and bought a Ithaca. I would drive him around hunting ducks. We would go flying up the bank of some of the desert tanks, with him leaning out the window. He would cut loose getting off two shots and was able to shoot his fair number of ducks. Not exactly sportsman like, but it kept him in the game a little longer. Unfortunately when he passed I was not in a position to try and buy the gun which ended up in a pawn shop. This gun is a far cry from what he had, but will be a fine gun to shoot with a little work, you can never go back but it will satisfy a "need" I have had for awhile.

Instant pedigree. How about that! No mention of Monte-Carlo that usually cost a little more.

I would have said yes, but now that I see those other crazy Ithaca stocks, I don't know.
The round-knob looks odd, and the checkering looks refreshed. But maybe the stock is right.
The guns does look pretty modified. Someone has been at it, so who knows what they did to it.
Did Ithaca mark their stocks under the triggerguards or buttplates/pads?

That is interesting that 500210 is a "Star" version Field Grade. I owned 500167 for 16 years, 1985 to 2001, and it was the 1935 and later style Field Grade without cocking indicators and the border engraving?!?
