Why not replace that pad with a reproduction Sunburst?


FWIW, a "sunburst" would not be correct for a Magnum-Ten NID. The Ithaca bridge trestle (sunburst) pad made during the years the NID Magnum-Ten was produced was not big enough for the stocks of the magnum guns. When they came with a pad, as most did, the got a seven-slot Jostam Anti-Flinch or a big Hawkins. Major Askins big Magnum-Ten, made famous by Elmer had a big Hawkins on its original stock, though it is hard to see in this photo --



P.S. I stopped by the Cabelas in Boise on my way to Las Vegas last month, and I've got to say that restock of old No. 500000 is really hideous!!
