Ive been waiting for a chance to show this baby off. I bought this 1957 for 350$ about a year ago, but It looked new except for a few dings in the stock and ridiculous peep site someone installed. I yanked the sight, filled the holes, sanded it down smooth, and put alot of coats of sealer and tru oil on, also gave it a cool (imitation) ithaca buttplate to replace the old ugly factory pad, now it really does looks new. It did jam on me the 1st time I took it to the range, the shell carrier had some sticky gook on it, you gotta keep some parts clean on these 37s cause the tolerances are tight. id say an 870 is more reliable but it doesnt rattle as much, its more like a nice semi auto than a pump.

BTW buy the gun
