Any Ithaca model 37 fans on here?

Awesome photo Cheesy, nice looking old girl. Somebody has taken care of her..very nice shape still
 
Onpoint-I refinished the wood on that one when I got it 7 years ago.

Went to an auction this morning in southeast Kansas that had an "Ithaca 37 20 guage, Imp Cyl". Got there and it was a late 40's vintage, no bluing left on bottom of receiver, barely any on the top, barrel was missing most of its bluing as well. Stock had a tang crack as well as a big chunk missing from the forend, and the shell carrier was tweaked on one side. It went for $330, about $200 more than I was willing to go in that condition.

They had a minty Model 12 Winchester as well that went for $500 as well. I'm not a Model 12 expert by any means, but it looked like a plane jane field grade gun.
 
I love my model 12's for sure. That's about the going rate for a field grade in fairly good shape.

I'm still looking for a 37 Ultra Featherlight in 20ga with the 25" Imp Cyl barrel vent rib.

Like this, it's just more money then I want to spend

Wish I had known, I sold one last year. U prefix, and Sid Bell grip cap. So light it was difficult for me, to maintain swing, pump so smooth it worked one handed John Wayne style.

16ga Ithaca

I have a 16ga Ithaca 37 pre 1950 for sale, the stock and forearm are not original 28" plain barrel. My father purchased it used in the mid 1940's because the seller had 2 boxes of shells for it. Shotshells were hard to come by during WWII. I haven't use it in 30 years make me an offer. email paulpskp@aol.com. I live in central Wisconsin.

Paul, this should probably go in the "Classifieds". Want me to move it?

Is it marked 2 3/4" chamber? what choke does it have?
 
Just picked up a 12 ga featherlight. 28" barrel, Modified and vent rib. Its about a 1974 gun and in pretty good condition. Found it on the used gun rack at Cabela's for $280. I'm amazed at how nice and smooth the action is. I bought it because I didn't have an pump and have always been intrigued by the Model 37's. My initial thought was to used it in "pump gun" shoots we have at our club. But I have come to like it so much, it may make the cut and go to South Dakota in November.
 
I have a 1970's 12ga Model 37. Its my main pheasant gun. I bought a Benelli and could not hit squat with it. I tried a Beretta same thing. I bought a Remington 11-87 and that was ok but i keep going back to my Model 37. I love that gun!!
 
Ithaca Sling Swivel set

I have some new Uncle Mike's sling swivel sets for M37 Ithaca shotguns. They are no longer made. They attach to the barrel lug & of course the stock. Some models require drilling & tapping the lug. I have a 3" model that was factory ready. $20 to your door. 608-987-2466
