i have an Ithaca m37 made i think in the mid to late 70's, it was my paw-paw's shotgun.it has 2 diff barrels one is a ribbed 28 inch and the other is a 20 inch barrel with rifle sights on it and it is marked DEERSLAYER,so i am assuming it is intinded(sp) for hunting deer ,purty darn smart aint i? ok, joking aside my question is this,If it is supposed to be used as a slug barrel then why doesnt it have any rifling inside? no it is not worn out,this barrel has never been used ,it just a smooth bore and i dont understand i do most of my hunting of furry game animals with a rifle and have never used this one other than dove hunting with the longer barrel. i just thought someone might know why this barrel has no rifling
