So I was very happy with myself that I "successfully" disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled an Ithaca 37 that I picked up last week. It was made in '47 and looked like it hadn't been cleaned since then. Anyway, while checking that everything works (after reassembly) I found that I have to press the slide release (I think that's what its called) EVERY time I rack the slide rather than just the first time. I took it apart again, reread the directions, and reassembled it, with no change. Anyone have an idea where I messed up or how to fix it?
Thanks!
 
Yes, any time that the slide is returned all of the way forward.
I can see where the tip of the slide release falls off of the slide and blocks its return rearward. (I hope that was clear.) I wish I had another to look at and figure this out...
 
Thanks for the help.
I figured it out (finally). I had put the arm that sticks out of the hammer back in upside down, so it wasn't disengaging the slide stop.
Better late than never, right?
