Ithaca Mag-10 Field 10 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, 32" Vent Rib Barrel, CounterCoil, Blued/Walnut
The Ithaca Mag-10 Field is notable for being the first 10-gauge gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun ever produced. Built in the USA, it combines a stout blued steel receiver with a 32-inch vent-rib barrel and a reliable gas system that set the benchmark for later 10-gauge autos. An integral CounterCoil hydraulic recoil reducer in the magazine cap further distinguishes this model, making heavy 3 ½-inch loads more manageable without altering the gun’s classic lines.

What’s Included
- Ithaca Mag-10 Field 10-gauge semi-automatic shotgun
Introduced in 1975, the Mag-10 Field preceded and influenced the later Remington SP-10, giving it historical significance for collectors and hunters alike.
The CounterCoil system housed in the magazine cap reduces felt recoil while limiting capacity to 2+1, a trade-off that many shooters find worthwhile for the softer shooting experience with heavy 10-gauge payloads.
A 32-inch vent-rib steel barrel pairs with a 3 ½-inch chamber, allowing the gun to handle today’s full-power magnum loads. The long sighting plane and brass bead front sight support precise swing and target acquisition.
The Monte Carlo walnut stock features cut checkering and a pistol grip, offering a secure hold and proper cheek weld. All major components are steel and walnut, maintaining the durability and balance expected from Ithaca’s U.S. production.
