Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Ithaca Model 37

This thing is sweet. I wonder why it doesn’t have the forend support ring on the back of the corncob. I’m pretty sure those were soldered onto the action arm, wonder if it was a cost cutting thing in the 70’s or something. Or maybe that action arm and tube is a replacement from one of the beaver tail forend guns.

I love 37s, have two prewar 16s and a 70’s production 20. My family on dad’s side have been shooting bottom eject pump guns since great grandad bought a new Remington M10 in 1929. The progression has included 37s as well as BPSs.
