Unknown 10 ga Shotgun

Tucker 1371 · April 1, 2009, 01:38 AM

My grandfather has an all synthetic 10 ga shotgun that I think is made by Browning. It has some engraving on the side and has an 18 or 20 inch bbl and some very high profile sights, the rear sights remind me of an MP5/G3 sight. Also, the spent shells eject through the bottom as opposed to the side.

Can anyone tell me what make and model this shotgun might be, I have always wondered and I kind of want one for myself. I can't get any pictures at the moment as the gun is 4hrs away from me right now.

EDIT: Ahh, feel like an idiot, I forgot to mention it's a pump.

That sounds like one of the old Ithaca Mag 10 "Roadblocker" 10 gauges.

It should be clearly marked on the barrel as to manufacturer.

Well I'll be dipped. It looks like the Browning BPS also came in 10 gauge (I didn't think it did) and also ejects from the bottom (I didn't think it did).

Well, those are your two most likely suspects.

I was thinking Browning BPS when you said the shells eject through the bottom.
