Elmer wrote about it extensively -- Eventually the original stock gave up and Elmer had it restocked. This was discussed in his article "Long Shots and Far Away!" in the December 1965 issue of Guns & Ammo, from which I got these pictures.

A fully optioned vent rib 4E magnum ten was sold in Northern Virginia a few years ago. I wonder if it was Elmer's. I guess not since I would have noticed the unique serial number.
