They were already known for their quality double guns but the pump action had started to take a bigger and bigger piece of the sporting shotgun market. In the early 1930s Ithaca was looking to get into the pump shotgun market. It is a nice blend of the original M37 design with modern furniture.įor those not already familiar with the Ithaca Model 37 let’s take a look at where it came from. The new M37 Defense I was sent for review is in 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, eight-round magazine, 20 inch barrel and an adjustable AR-style stock. The designs, especially the classic Model 37 shotgun, are still there but are being made with modern production methods and materials. Hard times, quality control issues and a hand full of changes in ownership have plagued Ithaca, but the current owners have rebuilt the company from the ground up and moved to a new location in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. What is the length of pull on each of these? Does each one come with a recoil pad, or only #197490? Does the recoil pad name its manufacturer (Ithaca, Kick-Eze, etc.In the past 20 years or so there has been a lot of ups and down for Ithaca Gun Company, a classic American manufacturer. Regarding the butt stock, I often will have the length of pull shortened on my shotguns, so I'm looking at getting either part # 197490 or 314230. Regarding part # 58390: I am under the impression that the 16 ga and 12 ga model 37s were made with the same receiver (and the 20 used a smaller receiver), so would this part, which is identified as being for a 16 ga model 37, work on my 12 ga? If that part won't work on my 37, then which "ringed, round, walnut" forend should I order, part #1588300 (6 inches long), or 583890 (5.75 inches long), or 1626700 (7.5 inches long)? I'd like to get wood for each.įor the forend, I'd like to get the "corncob" style (described by Numrich as "ringed, round, walnut"). I have an 8-shot Ithaca 37 (12 gauge) came with plastic (fiberglass?) forend and butt stock.
