I just tried this on a couple
of my Ithaca 37s. both would slam-fire.
one was ser# 641XXX and the other was 341XXX.
both pre-date the 70's.
I knew some Ithacas would do this,
but never cared whether mine would or not.
(still don't)
use good pump-gun technique.
BTW, I picked up the #341XXX at a gun show
two years ago for $200. It was in unbelievable condition, with the exception
of a new number inscribed on the bottom of the receiver, just in front
of the opening. The dealer
said it was probably a government gun,
and they do that so it's easier to inventory
the guns in the racks.
Since I'm a shooter, I bought this fantastic
condition gun without *any* hesitation !
If I see more like it, I'll buy some more!
