Thanks Les I was off at deer camp a week and couldn't return a post, I went to the Diamond Gunsmithing web site looks like its coming along will refer to you if I ever need parts, I also own a 37 featherlite an could never part with that a pleasure on long grouse hunts in the fall so lite and absolutely flawless action never had a problem over the years its been a fine shotgun also. As for the Mag 10 I'll follow your procedures and see what I can do with the bolt, heck the guns not showing and signs of dirt or grim but I'm a stickler for absolute in the cleanliness an proper lube too much so if you'd ask my wife. I had a slight problem with Mag 10 earlier this duck season it didn't hit the primer hard enough to set off a round, it only happen once I did get that shell to fire after monkeying around with the action an a quick stripping of the forend, barrel etc. to see what an why that happened. Well not sure what happened there but the first season of duck went without another hitch, the Mag 10 function an cycled flawlessly so I'm at a loss with that misfire. Well thank you Les I'll run thru the instructions they don't seem too bad and I'll take note of the sharp areas in there, your correct its usually a lot easier to show someone rather then the written explanation you did great, I believe with your years an knowledge in this field taking this firearm down to a pile of screws and metal parts wouldn't be much of a problem for you, I'm leaning that way "roger" hey ok bud thanks a million an I'll keep you posted if I know of any or need any Ithaca repairs or parts, Thank you sir.
