I bought an Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight 12ga last week from a guy(retired USMC & gunsmith) who was selling off his guns for health reasons. It is used but in superb condition and came with a spare Hastings barrel with IC and Full screw-in chokes. I owned a Model 37 before for about 30 years and loved it but I gave it to my son-in-law when the Mossberg 835 I bought him got stolen out of his truck.
Later I saw a brand new 37 with an English stock and bought it on impulse but I could never warm up to that style of stock. I sold it at a loss and replaced it with a used one just like my original. But I gave that to my newest son-in-law last month as a wedding present.
So, this is the last Model 37 I'm buying. The first one I bought new in 1972 was around $140 IIRC, this latest was $520.
