What’s Included
- Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight 20 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Featherlight series is known for its bottom-eject and bottom-loading layout with a tubular magazine, and this example retains that hallmark configuration. The receiver is factory roll-engraved with waterfowl-over-marsh scenes on both sides, adding a distinctive Ithaca aesthetic to the steel action.
The 28 inch plain barrel is roto-forged steel with a fixed Full choke, well-suited for tighter patterns. A single front orange bead provides a clean sight picture on the plain, no-rib barrel. Chambering is 2 3/4 inch.
American walnut furniture includes pressed checkering with fleur-de-lis accents and a black hard-rubber buttplate. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and the matching walnut forend complements the receiver’s game-scene engraving.
Manufactured in Ithaca, New York, in 1974, the shotgun carries the Ithaca anvil logo on the barrel and a MADE IN U.S.A. rollmark. The takedown system is retained by the magazine cap and barrel lug, and capacity is 3 rounds.
