Hard to better a 1950s era 16ga Ithaca M37 for the money. Still undervalued in some places. 95% factory original. Purchased locally in 2016 for $300.00 ![[Linked Image]](http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv155/carbonbucket/m37rtfull_zpsd0oajlqp.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv155/carbonbucket/m37rtreceiver_zpszahqe3ff.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv155/carbonbucket/m37barrelscript_zpsxigmpe4u.jpeg) 5 or so years ago, local shop had a minty Ithaca 37 in 16 for $300. I looked it over, handled it, gave it back and left. Next day I came back to buy it, I was 2 hours too late. Kick myself for not buying it when I first saw it. I did pick up another one a few years later. Nowhere near the condition for $200. It works though.

Early 870 16 gauges were not on the 12gauge frame. My Dads was new in 1951 and is slimmer than a 12 gauge. My brother has it now and uses it.
Carried a 16 gauge 11-48 last fall for pheasants in South Dakota. Joy to carry and performed perfectly. Fall before was a 16 gauge Model 31 lightweight. That likewise was good. I put about 4 oz of lead in the butt to make it balance better, still very light to carry. Shot it very well on pheasants and sharptails.
Both the 11-48 and the Model 31 were under $300.00 shotguns in very nice shape. Dale
