Classic pumps before the 870

My Ithaca 37 is in 16 Gauge and has been my hunting gun for going on 40 years now. It's a pre-war so If I hold back the trigger and just work the slide I get 5 shots down range in very short order. Also very easy for a leftie to fire

Count me among Crawdad1 and Armored Farmer as a fan of the Winchester 42. This is the one I inherited from Grampa through a recently deceased uncle. It's the one I learned to shoot with as a kid; a 1938 production year.

That's a classic J Bar, With their scaled frames in 410 Gauge, they are sweet guns to carry while hunting.

my Ithaca 37 16 ga I use it for trap made in 1946 with pre war wood

It's been answered enough, but my $0.02, The Remington 31 and the Winchester 12 are two of the finest pump shotguns ever.
