Ithaca Model 37
My letter was published in the May 2014 issue of Shooting Times. I am amazed. All the best...

Gil,
If I recall correctly, isn't Shooting Times now one of the gun magazines owned by that anti gun bunch in NY City? Reminds me of the Salsa commercial and the guy with the door lock. Ed

Had a few
Ithaca 37s. They were a pretty good operating shotgun. Never did like 'em Always felt kinda clunky to me. Of course they were a copy of the Model 17 Remington..which was I think only made in 20 ga. I was in Winchester/Remington country. Couldn't sell 'em worth squat. I did think they were better operating than a nasty ol 870 though. The real Remington pump gun was the Model 31. Not many people know that the 12 ga 870 was designed off the Remington 31 16 ga receiver. The 31 had 2 or 3 different receiver sizes. So did the Ithaca I think. In the original Ithaca they never made a regular production 28 ga. The re-iteration of Ithaca I think did make a 28 and 410 available. The 410 woulda been great I think. If it worked well.

First shotgun I ever shot was my Dad's 37 in 16 ga. It had a 28" barrel choked mod., He used for all of his bird hunting and trap. He bought it before the war and switched to a Beretta O/U in 1970. The old 37 made a couple of trips back to the factory over the years but had lots of rounds through it.
I have two 37s one is a 37R 28" Full choke barrel from 52 and the other is a 16ga. from 57 with a 28" mod. barrel. Do shoot both and even made a SW Louisiana duck hunt, the 12 got fed bismuth only. The performed well and the bottom eject is great for blind hunting.

skeet,
I got to agree with you. I acquired a 12 gauge, 16 gauge and 20 gauge Model 37 and gave them all away to new hunters who needed a shotgun to go hunt with. I never felt comfortable with a gun that fed and ejected out of the bottom. All my beneficiaries of M37s had successful hunting seasons and all is well. Adam
