BRAND NEW ITHACA MODEL 37 TRENCH GUN: These units were hand built by Ithaca Gun Company some time ago; the receivers were part of a Law Enforcement contract run and were extras or “overruns”. These new receivers were subsequently built out as reproductions of the WWII and Vietnam issue M37 trench/riot guns with the 1917 bayonet lug. Barrels were upgraded to 3″. Upon information and belief a total of 22 of these shotguns were made available for civilian purchase.
The wood is obviously not standard issue but upgraded premier wood with a hand rubbed oil finish. There is no lacquer or stain on these stocks. Port side is stamped “Ithaca Gun Company” with current proof mark and the starboard side has the LE prefix with the serial number.
MILITARY ISSUE 12 GAUGE OO BUCK AMMUNITION: Winchester Military Grade 12 Gauge 2 3/4″ features 9 #00 Buckshot ammo pellets. This Winchester Military production overrun 12 gauge ammo features an O.D. green HS hull and high base black anodized head. This high performance load packs nine 00 buckshot in Grex Buffering. Buckshot loaded to military specifications and issued to the U.S. military. Authentic contract ammunition. Each 12-gauge 2-3/4″ shell has a nine-pellet load of buffered 00 buckshot and produces a muzzle velocity of 1325 feet per second. All cases are green with a black anodized head for low visibility. One full 250 round case military issue ammunition included.
ITHACA M-37 COMBAT HISTORY: The Ithaca was utilized by Navy Seals and Green Berets in Vietnam (among others). In theatre the Stevens 12 gauge was also utilized but had a horrific reputation for… falling apart. The bottom ejection and loading system with a solid receiver on the Ithaca outperformed every shotgun option available; there are hundreds of historical anecdotes praising the M-37 from military end users. A simple Google search can be overwhelming!
“Ithaca is best known for its Model 37 pump-action shotgun, a design celebrated for its bottom ejection and smooth action”.
COST/BUILD: You cannot get a Model 37 with the Law Enforcement prefix so forget it. Last units available were running $3100 each, shipped. Our price is $3492 each today. You get two = $6984. Authentic issue OO Buck is $333 per case of 250. Grand total if you had purchased this set would have run $7317. Az pays tax visa mc discover AMEX add 3%.
