Love My 37s


I have 3 Ithaca Model 37s two bought new by me in 1967 the Deluxe Vent Rib Models one in 12 gauge one in 20 gauge.
My 3rd Ithaca Model 37 was made in 1947 and was bought new by my uncle in 1947.
That is the gun I learned to shoot on.
He left it to me when he died, in great condition.
All my Ithaca Model 37s are in excellent shape and have been used alot.
Never a breakdown or a problem with any of them.
Mine 3 do not have a disconnector on them either and I love to pump fire them slang term (SLAM FIRE)
Ithaca should have never changed that pump fire in the 70s that is why alot a people bought that shotgun for being able to pump fire it also it had bottom ejection.
Leave a good thing alone, it worked for years, but as always some bean counter at the Ithaca Company thought his idea to save money and take that off the shotgun.
John Browning designed the 37 to work that way, I know they are smarter up at Ithaca than JOHN MOSES BROWNING.
