Ithaca Brand Shotguns

I have an OLD Ithaca 20 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun. It was my grandmother's gun, then my fathers, now mine. I've used it for everything from duck hunting to trap shooting.
What do you know about these guns? I can only seem to find information about the "homeland security" versions with pistol grips. Not what I have.
Let me know what you come across

Some of them are great shotguns and some of them are junk. Depends on the model.

It's probably a model 37.

now why would i use a model 37 for trap shooting? pistol grips are not very functional imo. It's a pretty old gun. My grandmother who would be in her 90's now, may she rest in peace, got it when she was 17 yrs. old.

I have a model 37 featherlight in 12ga that was handed down from my great grandfather. Great gun.
Not all model 37's have pistol grips.

No, they don’t all have pistol grips. But a model 37 doesn’t make a very good trap gun because of its harsh recoil.

The model 37 is a John Browning design, the same basic design as the Browning BPS, bottom eject, pump action. It is extremely lightweight for its time, solid and reliable. It has a known issue with dropping the next live shell from the magazine out the bottom if short pumped. Heavy loads will rattle your teeth (the laws of physics apply, light gun, no recoil reducer). The early versions do not need the trigger to be released to be reset, just hold it back and pump away for rapid fire …

My X used to shoot an Ithica Ultralite English and it was a grand little outfit, hust perfect for grouse and woodcock. One of my old trapshooting partners shot a beautiful engraved trapgrade 37 in all his ATA comp. He thought it was one of the best trapguns he ever handled.
