The Ithaca Model 37 SLAM-FIRE Featherlight is a prized gem among pump-action shotguns, cherished by hunters and collectors for its exceptional design and rich history. This 12-gauge classic stands out with its unique bottom-ejecting mechanism, making it perfect for both left- and right-handed shooters. The Featherlight variant boasts a streamlined, lightweight construction, offering ease of handling in any hunting scenario. A particularly notable feature of this early Model 37 is its slam-fire capability, allowing for rapid firing by holding the trigger down while pumping, a feature phased out in later models for safety reasons.
This particular shotgun is in good condition, showcasing its history with some dings, dents, scratches, and gouges on the stock, along with finish wear on the barrel and receiver. However, the bore is in excellent condition, with a clean, mirror-like finish that ensures optimal performance. The blued finish and checkered walnut buttstock and forearm add classic aesthetic appeal, while the engraved game scene of waterfowl in flight along the receiver enhances its collectible value.
Included in the sale is the shotgun itself, featuring a 28" barrel, a fiber optic front sight for improved targeting, and an improved cylinder choke for versatile shooting capabilities. Whether you're an avid hunter, a shooting enthusiast, or a collector of historical firearms, the Ithaca Model 37 SLAM-FIRE Featherlight offers a blend of reliability, craftsmanship, and a touch of American history that is hard to resist. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of firearm legacy that combines functionality with a storied past.
