The one Arnold used was the Winchester 10 lever.
The Ithaca 10 auto was designed by a millionaire's private gunsmith. (dream job)
He sold it to Ithaca when the man died. His personal 10 weighed about 2 lbs less than the production model.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Least you got the better looking one ! To bad you didn't get both !
Another of my customers has a Ithaca 12 semi , says it's too heavy , it'll be mine soon , even if it's too heavy LOL
It happens!
I always heard the Ithaca was hard to keep together,always breaking something. And hard to find any parts ? I know one guy around here with one,he uses it deer hunting , 3-1/2" slugs ! OUCH ! LOL
Only going to let you slide this one time ! :hmm3grin2orange:

Yeah.......real nice setup...change barrels for wind distance etc.....lightweight 12g with real light kick.....now I have a real heavy old Browning A5 adjustable choke.....that unit will really give you a workout....got a big recoil pad too.....just painful..to shoot more than a couple loadings....
I so sorry your royal heiness!
I have a couple old single shot 12ga. 2-3 shots is all I want ! LOL Why do them things kick so hard ? Heavy nuff they shouldn't ! Forget what brand they are , Ithaca and Winchester I think ?
Its Sir Slug , ya Peon !

I don't know....always thought the heavier the gun the less the kick.....12g singles ALL kick like a mule AFAIK.....never shot one that didn't...my father had a Hopkins & Allen the he got used when he was 15...which would have been 1920.....that thing would spin you right around if you weren't braced off good.....hard to believe he wore it out!!!! My brother has it...hasn't been shootable since I was in high school....needs trigger work....
