Thats really sharp looking. Did it only cost you $250 or was it $250 plus the cost of the shotgun?

$250 overall total

Waay cool! I love my Model 37. I think they are extremely, besides being very light. I almost feel like getting rid of my Military 870.

Is the heat shield the same as the one for the model 97 Winchester, or specific for the Ithaca?

I wish you guys would quit posting these old shotguns!!!!

I don't really need one.....I don't really need one.....I don't really need one.....I don't really need one..... there, should hold me for a few more days.

I know my eyes aren't quite what they used to be but, does it look like that holes in the heat shield were drilled with a hand drill to anyone else? I guess that's from when things were made by hand with pride.

Nice! I have an antique Winchester '97, but it is not a trench or riot gun. Sometimes I think about building it into a replica of one, though.

the heat shield/bayonet adapter looks like the ones that IMA was selling a while back. Not historically accurate. I ordered one as a replacement for the hacked up one on the WWI Winchester Trench gun I had at the time. I wasn't pleased with it and sent it back.

I also bought a used/old 12ga M37 Ithaca last year...I had a 16ga M37 when I was young...

I had bought a beavertail slide handle for it years ago; when I sold it, I put the checkered OEM slide handle back on...

My 12ga was made in 1949, and came with a beavertail...So now I have a spare beavertail slide handle...

(Edit: Wow! Numrich wants a bunch for them!)

Wow, I just clicked on this thread, That's a fine looking scattergun ! I always loved the 37's and the roadblockers. Lot's of old ex-Sherrif guns out there today.

well i started by measuring and cutting down the barrel with a pipe cutter, then dressing it with a dremel. next i ordered one of the repro trench shields from IMA. (it needed fitting to get a tight fit) and i can always take it off and have a riot shotgun also

nice shotgun. I have a USGI 20" bead site 8 round tube, the USGI guns have a heavy receiver and no engraving, Early on in Viet Nam the gov.sent field grade shotguns they were tring to get guns there .Shot guns were not produced for us use in great numbers,but found that it was a good weapon for Viet Nam, I carried a M37 no bayonet lug but why would you need a bayonet with 8 00 buck or #4 00 in the tube and slam fire? will try and figure out how to post pics.
