Help identifying a shotgun

[tortoise]

My mom is moving out here and my uncle is sending me an old shotgun and some rounds for me to "borrow" along with her, but I cannot get her to ask him what the gun is. She sent me this picture, anyone have an idea?

Does it eject out the bottom? Looks like an Ithaca model 37 kinda.

god I hope so. I haven't seen the other side of the receiver and that's the only photo she sent.

If only it wasn't 10ft away and had more pictures

I know

she's not very gun knowledgeable and is in the process of packing. I'm flying to Montana to meet her so she doesn't have to to drive the mountains in a huge uhaul, so at least I'll have something to shoot with when I'm out there!

Looks like a Winchester Model 12.

I feel like it may end up being a pretty old Remingon...

That's also possible what I'd say is it doesn't look like a New York shotgun to me.

This ^^^
I looked at 500x.
The slide handle if in battery, is stopped back like a Model 12.
An Ithaca stops all the way forward on the mag tube.
The construction of the slide handle is wrong for an Ithaca.
The floor plate is wrong for an Ithaca..Ithaca has an ejection fork.

Flopping it over will tell the tale, but to me it looks like an early Winchester Model 12.

in a few days I'll be putting shot through it in the great state of Montana, and I will certainly update.

At least, you are NOT asking for a Value!!!

Could it be a Winchester Model 25...?
( The non-take down Model 12 )

Deffinatly not a M12.......not a takedown..........looks more like a Browning design M37 Ithaca or Remington version.

A nice looking shotgun!

Winner !!! ^^^^

 

[Ura-Ki]

Looks like an Early Remington!
My bet is Remington, pre 870!

 

[Andy54Hawken]

A Remington 31 also comes to mind , along with my earlier guess of a Winchester Model 25.

After taking everyone's analysis and suggestions into consideration and doing extensive GISing, I'm convinced the most likely candidate is a Winchester 25, as the way the slide action bar slots into the receiver looks inctedibly similar.

Mom took more photos but failed to get the other side of the receiver or top of barrel because who knows why.

I agree with the Remington Model 31 guess.
