Good afternoon all,
I have an Ohio built Ithaca 37 that I recently purchased used. I can’t feed the first shell into the magazine tube without first racking that shell into the chamber. After the first shell has been racked I can fill the magazine tube freely. I’m not really familiar with pump guns and am wondering if this is a mechanical issue or just an operator error on my part? Other than that issue it’s a darn nice handling little gun.

welcome to the campfire! I am not sure I understand your situation; in order to rack the shell into the chamber, it would first have to be normally inserted into the magazine, eh?

1:Insert shell into magazine tube. (Pump will be in forward position.) 2:Cycle pump-back and forward-to feed that one into the chamber. 3: Fill up magazine tube.
Any other way and the lifter will be in the way and prevent the first shell being placed into the chamber.

Woodmaster most definitely is more than a little familiar with shotguns. A knowledgeable resource.
