Ithaca ~ Mag-10 ~ 10 Gauge

The Ithaca Mag-10 was the world's first 10 GA semi-automatic gas-operated shotgun chambered in 10-gauge (3½"). The CounterCoil system built into the front of the magazine tube reduced the recoil from the round to allow easier second shots but cut the magazine size in half to 2 shells. It was produced until 1989, at which point Remington Arms bought the design and used it as the basis for the Remington Model SP-10. After the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banned lead shot for waterfowl hunting in 1991, hunters were forced to use steel shot. The Ithaca Mag-10 was a platform that could deliver large steel shot in heavy payloads for goose hunting. This example is in good shape and ready for the next waterfowl hunt.
