So I came into a sad old 20ga Ithaca 37.
Toe of the stock is busted off, about 3" worth. There's a dent in the barrel right around 18-3/8". Looks like it was rusted then cold blued. Was planning to sell it with some other old junkers, but given the poetic location of the dent I'm thinking about making it a "light riot" gun. Thoughts? |

If you can find a grip, you can make it a 20 gauge Ithaca Stakeout gun.

Got my 1200 furniture today, but the stock is not cut for a sling swivel, so I have to cut it out myself so I can screw on a stamped 1903 swivel. Also, the colors don't match, but I don't care. Pics when done, with seatbelt sling.
Does anyone know what the original metal finish on these were? I want to have the metal refinished, but want it to be correct. We're the receivers "Alumahyded" black and the rest parkerized? |

Been working on a civvie Stevens 77E and and one of those Arizona National Guard Savage 69R-H's for going on 6 years now and finally got the furniture this week. Feels great, almost like getting all that green 601 furniture together. Now all I need is The rear sling swivels. Anyone have a couple of rear sling swivels they're willing to part with? Failing that, can someone give me the dimensions on a rear swivel?

Imagine my disappointment, when I discovered my new to me Ithaca 37 riot has a disconnector (the funny looking little thing sticking up behind the hammer). According to the serial number chart on the interwebs she was made in 1968. http://ithacagunrepair.com/IGSN/IGSN.html I thought these things had slam fire triggers well into the 1970's? Oh well. Pics later, she was a dirty girl and poorly stored. Some minor pitting in the bore and some surface rust. If I had the money she would be blasted and re-parked. For now she will be cleaned, oiled, and preserved. |

Seeing this thread reminds me-
I picked this 97 up at a local show for $125. Had a cracked buttstock and cut barrel. (needs a bead (easy fix!). Luckily I found a GI WW2 butt for a 97 at the same show for just a few bucks that I found before I found the shotgun! The gun show gods were with me this weekend

Finally got the rear sling swivel on my 'state of Arizona' savage stand-in for a 77E I posted awhile back. Ordered the numrich stud and swivel loop that was suggested. The stud worked perfectly but didn't quite like the different style loop. I had an old loop from a Type D stock that I sent to John Thomas along with some other projects and had them reparked and attached with a roll pin. I suppose it could pass for in field repair
. Really happy with how it looks and I suppose It would accommodate a rifle sling but I'll probably leave the m1 carbine sling on it for now.

ETA: Trying to figure out how I'm going to park it too. I don't think the barrel and receiver will fit into the fish poacher parking tank I use for AR barrels. |

Howdy gents, first official post (dear God please be gentle), seeing as my Colt 603 clone build is sitting as a misc pile of parts and doesn't look like much currently, especially compared to some of yall's beautiful builds, thought I'd join in on the retro shotgun thread especially after picking up a new toy Tuesday from a local pawn shop for a song and a dance. Hopefully these pics show up correctly.
1906 manufactured Remington Model 11, $200 cash OTD, missing the right side shell lifter screw which is already on its way from Numrich. She's going to be getting a pseudo military issue riot gun makeover soon. Going to chop the barrel to 20 inches, install a new brass bead, refinish and repair the furniture, parkerize the whole thing, and I'm using an M1 Thompson stamped stock sling swivel for the rear sling swivel. I'll be sure to show it off when it's all done.

I always love pawn shop shopping, I unfortunately missed out on an unmolested 1903A3 Springfield at the same pawn shop for $250 by a week.
I actually live just outside of Jacksonville down the river a bit in Green Cove. Commute to UNF and work everyday though and pass through Mandarin frequently. Weather has been great as of late, had a bit of a chill about a week and a half ago, but it's hanging around 65 degrees at night and 75-80 during the day now. So nice and comfy. |

N/M, misread, but I would not cut up that early of a gun if I could keep from it. Plenty of newer ones out there that will fulfill the same purpose without destroying a piece of history.

I wouldn't get too upset, they are common and even in perfect shape, they don't tend to bring a ton of money. It seems that unless it's a Winchester trench gun the prices on old shotguns is just not all that high. I picked up a 1942 Savage 720 that is martially marked for $350 an couple of years ago and while I am not sure of what it would sell for today, I don't see them as being all that popular. Granted it is a full length gun that was most likely used for aerial gunnery practice, so it doesn't have the panache that a riot or trench gun has, but I still think it is pretty neat.

He was just a little quicker on the grab than I was for your shotgun's pert neart twin, round knob grip stock, no date code on the barrel, serial number in the 45,000's or thereabouts, probably fairly close to yours. $210 plus tax. Dammit. And I been looking for one of those dang things, too. If you're using an M1 Thompson swivel for the rear, what are you using for a front swivel, or have you got that far? |

Great, I like seeing everyone's new projects on here. It has been a while. I have to get back to my 520 project soon. Picked up a repo heat shield/Bayo mount.

Dammit. Went on a gun & pawn shop crawl this morning with a buddy. He was just a little quicker on the grab than I was for your shotgun's pert neart twin, round knob grip stock, no date code on the barrel, serial number in the 45,000's or thereabouts, probably fairly close to yours. $210 plus tax. Dammit. And I been looking for one of those dang things, too. If you're using an M1 Thompson swivel for the rear, what are you using for a front swivel, or have you got that far? Did that gun have lock screws? And mine is within 10,0XX. As for a front sling swivel I'm actually going to fabricate that myself. The original Model 11 riot guns had a sling swivel that was screwed right into the magazine tube cap. I don't want to permanently alter mine seeing as they're nigh impossible to find. If I could just order up a spare cap I'd drill that. Plan is to make essentially a flat steel washer with a band integral to it for the sling and I'll slot it so it can interface with the cap retainer detent. |

I'm not entirely certain if it had lock screws or not. But it has the same scalloped ends on the butt stock where it meets the receiver as yours has. Frankly, after my bud snatched it up, my attention kinda drifted. He's been seriously looking for one for quite a while, while my own interest has been a little half-hearted, so it's only right he ended up with it. Thank you for the ideas for a front swivel. Seeing those two so close together has thrown a hankering on me. I'd had in mind an old Ithaca pump but rapidly thinking otherwise now. |

I'll definitely post updates as I move along with it. I understand that hankering all too well. Ever since I got to fire a friend's Auto 5 many years ago I've been in love with the old humpback autos. If for no other reason than just how cool the action is when it cycles. Always loved stuff like it, guess that's why I got drove towards working for a mechanical engineering degree. |

I just picked up this Remington Model 11 project gun today. Serial number places it in late 1921 - early 1922.
The forend is a replacement and there is very little metal finish left. Some pitting, but mechanically sound. She's going to get a full work over including shortening the barrel to 20" and refinishing the wood and metal. I may follow RetroJaxGuy's example and use a stamped Thompson sling swivel for the rear and fabricate a washer style for the front. I'll keep you updated. David |

Postman brought some goodies today. Finally received my shipment of parts from Numrich which included the proper screws for the buttplate, the stamped Thompson sling swivel, screws that go with it, and the shell lifter screw I was missing.
Next up is to make the front washer sling swivel. Already have an idea of how I'm going to do it in mind. If it turns out well I'd be happy to make one for anyone else that'd want one, here's looking at you dsbock. |
