Hey all--I'm hoping to put a set of ghost ring sights on my Ithaca 37. This old warhorse is not as popular as it used to be. At one time I believe that both the NYPD and the LAPD issued it. But times have changed, probably becuase of the aggressive marketing by Remington within the LEO community.
I've always loved the 37, primarily because I'm a lefty, and also the old school look it has, and the fun, but impractical, feature of "slam fire."
I bought mine back in 1984, and since then I've added a sidesaddle--the rare left-handed version--and a Choate stock. An amateur gunsmith fitted a lefty safety for me. All these years I've pined for ghost ring sights.
It appears that maybe the Mossberg sights, available separately, may fit. I determine this by noting that the XS brand ghost ring sights use the same model for both the Ithaca and the Mossie.
Anyone able to confirm the compatiblity? Any advice or suggestions?
