I'm looking at a Ithaca Model 37 20 guage, in the 1million serial number range.
On the left side of the barrel, near the breech, is stamped "CYL". I would have expected the stamp to say "IMP. CYL. or something similar. The mark is crisp, it's not like the IMP is missing or worn.
Was this shotgun manufactured as an Improved Cylinder bore, or could it be a true cylinder bore?
