All 18 versions of the Winchester 37a

 

[Joe13]

This one isn't fancy, got it from a buddy who's dad passed and probably only put 2-3 shells thru it.

Don't have a pic of the one I have but it's exactly like this one:

I added a basic sling and Allen shell holder on the stock.

Rossi 20g 2 3/4 - 3" shells
28" barrel with shell ejector



The kick is fine for me and I didn't feel guilty dragging it thru the woods - its super light and durable.

Now to just get some grouse with it

Thanks for the pic, JD. Appreciate the effort.

Joe,

That's a cool deal! (well, cool deal for you, but sucks for your buddy. My condolences).
You got the 28" barrel. I'm jealous.
Happy shooting!

Nice to see a large collection of the 37A's...thanks for sharing...

With some duck tape and wire you could have yourself a Gatling Gun

Andy,

Does your 37 have a pigtail?

Please forgive me if this is old news, but is anyone else aware that Stevens is building a break action single again?

...also, notice how the action breaks open....

I now have two of these. One in 12 cut down to a 20" and one in 20 gauge with a 22" barrel. Good cheap little shotguns. The hammers are stiff, but I'm sure they'll get better over time. And they have ejectors too!

You are going to need one in .410 to round out the collection.

LOL no. But your price makes these a no brainer for a good truck/grouse gun!

Andy,

Dean

No..it does not....its not that early of a model 37.
I think it dates from the mid to late 50's....granted that is just a guess as there are no serial numbers to date it....But the lettering and markings in the barrel remind me of some of the Winchester 94's that I have owned from that time period.

[DeanMk]

Right on.
I always thought that was such a wild look, having the barrel break lever in front of the hammer.

...btw, if you've never seen it, Layne Simpson's book on shotguns and shotgunning is a great, informative read.
Here's a page that highlights the section on single shot shotguns...Don't Overlook The Single-Shot

I like the IDEA of them. The SxS and O/U doubles, I also like the IDEA of. Gotta stick with the pumps for now

I'm a big 870 fan.

Got a single shot just cuz and I really enjoyed packing a shotgun that was half the weight of my 870's around the woods last time out.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

The weight of the shotgun can be very important...Like Joe was saying a single shot can weigh a lot less than a pump ....Says the guy ( me ) who just got a new to him Wingmaster....
Be that as it may...Shotguns of any sort are handy to have around and shoot.....

Just found this...

...looks like another Hatsun / Huglu rebadge/copy. Nice to see something new with a decent length barrle on it, anyway (and you can't argue with the price).

 

[DeanMk]

gmerkt,

Where did you find 28 ga. Foster's and how much did they weigh?
