1953 ITHICA 37 FEATHERLITE 20GA <SPF>

Here's a great old workhorse and a blast from the past. The longest continuous production shotgun ever. This one was born in 1953, so it has the slam fire feature. Bottom load, bottom eject, short action that is quick and as smooth as silk. And it is a takedown as well. Loosen the mag cap, twist the barrel, and the interrupted threads allow the barrel to slide right off. 30" fixed choke with fiber optic font sight. Not sure which choke, improved I cylinder possibly. In darn good shape consider the previous owner stored it in a closet and never took it out for 40yrs. A few small trust spots, as you can see, but nothing that couldn't be removed and refinished if you were so inclined. Worst place is the barrel band which is available and easily replaced. Wood is beautiful. Asking $625.00 and if it doesn't sell for that I will keep it and refinish it for the grandkids. Would consider trade for the right revolver in 38sp, 357mag, or .22lr.

Thanks Andy! Yep, these are superb shotguns. Probably the slickest and quickest action I've ever run!

The Gun room would love to have this one on their shelf....

Totally kidding, but not really. I absolutely love these things. The 37 and the Browning BPS are my two favorite pumps. I only wish that the safety on the 37 was a little more friendly for left handed users.
