Duh, my hearing started going a year or so back, I can't read the fine print anymore, and now my mental faculties are apparently slipping.
I hope the new Ithaca can last long enuff to produce the 16. A M37 16 with a ringtail forend is on my wish list. |

I, for better or worse, have acquired three (yes, three) Ithaca Model 37 pumps in 16ga.. The first was one of the first 400 that was an Internet special. When I went to the factory (I live in Buffalo) to pick it up, it had the worst piece of wood I have ever seen on an Ithaca. I asked what could be done about it and was told we could make it into a Supreme Grade. I did this and had them put an English stock and small checkered forend on it. This may be the only Supreme ever made like this. It has a 24" IC choke barrel.
When they upgraded the Classic, I bought 16ga. number two. It has simply gorgeous wood and I, also acquired and extra English style FE for this gun. It has a 28" CT barrel.
After Ithaca went out of business, I found another of the first 400 on the Internet at a great price and bought that also. I managed to crack the stock before even firing the gun and have had it customed restocked with fantastic wood. It is PG, Eng. FE, 26"bbl CT.
Do I really need 3 16ga. pumps? We all know the answer, especially since I have an ICD 4ES 16ga. with 2 sets of barrels that I shoot lights out. It is one of a "matched pair", the other being a 28ga. |
