Here is my answer from Ithica,
Chuck: Your gun was made in the early 1950's and yes the current barrel can fit the older gun, however they may need to be slightly fixed. Although the new barrels have interchangeable chokes which are improved cylinder, full, and modified. We do provide a Turkey choke tube that will fix our replacement barrels but those are sold separately. Your gun even with a new barrel on it can only use 2 3/4 inch shells though. If your have any addition question please feel free to inquire. Clint[/align][/align]Thanks guys,[/align]Chuck7[/align] |

Chuck as I understood My Gunsmith, The older Model 37's had the serial # stamped on the end of the reciever , not the side like the newer models, Also asked Ithaca awhile back before they sold to MoldCraft out of sandusky , Ohio, To make a barrel for my Older model 37 , The barrell alone was around $200.00 & the fitting charge was around $75....... But just bought a Ithaca 16 gauge interchangeable Barrel & chokes tubes From IthacaGunsAmerica for $249.00, if that helps ...

RE: Need Info on Ithica 37
Now i asked that question as well a year ago & was told i could as long as you were using the correct choke tube with it, But if its fixed choke I would say yes you could, Now the older / Older sxs I have no idea, But i have a LaFever Nitro special sxs full choked & told i could with that, because of it being a Nitro special........do a search on ElmiraArms, located in Elmira , NY They specalize in Ithaca guns..

OK I e-mailed the Ithaca company. I was calling Cabelas about 1 hour ago ordering when she read me the warning about steel shot in some barrels.So I canceled my order since it's an older gun. I did shoot a Winchester Magnum load today to see how it pattered at 30 yds. Only got 7 pellets in a 2 inch circle so I was interested in the Remington Hevi Loads. On sale at Cabelas #5 shot for 17.50 a box of 10
