Speaking of 'Sweet 16s'
The LGS had an Ithaca Model 37 on the shelf today that looked pretty sweet to me.
I don't know a lot about them, but this one was old enough to have no checkering on the buttstock and a grooved forend piece, but new enough to have the 'RayBar' sight.
The plain barrel appeared to be either 26" or 28" (with *NO* PolyChoke − LOL).
Except for the recoil pad − which looked 'right', and might well have been original − the gun appeared to be 95% or better.
Neither the wood nor metal appeared refinished to me, but again, I'm no 'expert' on Ithacas.
I'm just glad I was picking up the Stevens, because at $330 that 16-Ga Model 37 was sorely tempting.
