FS or FT Ithaca 37 12 ga

[celisup78]

I have an Ithaca 37 12 gauge, modified choke, takes 2 3/4 shells only. The serial number puts the manufacture date in early 1947! The gun is solid and cycles smooth.

 

I own several Ithaca's and purchased this one with the intent of refinishing it, but after 10 years in the safe she still sits untouched. The wood is in good condition, no cracks or major chips. Some handling marks (the gun is almost 70 yrs old!) on the stock. It appears that a previous owner tried to refinish the wood once before since you can see small runs in the clear coat in places. It should strip off easily and refinish nicely. The bluing has come off in a lot of places, but there is no rust. Some very light discoloration in a few places (mainly under the pump forearm) but I expected that it would re-blue quite nicely. There is a small amount of light pitting on the bottom of the receiver. The bore is in very good shape. Even if the purchaser is not interested in refinishing it, the gun is solid and would make for a great field gun.

 

I am asking $300 FTF in the Albany - Schenectady - Rotterdam area (several good FFLs in the area where the transfer can take place). Buyer is responsible for transfer fees.

 

The only interested trades would be for a Remington 7600 (pump-action) rifle in deer-suitable calibers.

 

I will post pictures soon.

Let's try a price drop: $275 FTF (at ffl of course) or $300 shipped to your FFL of choice. I'm willing to entertain best offers.

 

If you want to trade for your pump-action Remington 7600, then I am possibly willing to throw in some money on top of the ithaca to make up any difference.

How about $250 FTF (at ffl of course) or $275 shipped to your FFL of choice? Feel free to make a best offer.

Let's hit bottom dollar: $250 shipped or $225 FTF. It won't go any lower nor will I accept lower offers.

 

I am also including 3 replacement buttstock pads (thinner plastic ones) that say "ithaca gun co inc"

Each one is just slightly longer than the next. I am not sure which one is the exact fit but one should work. I was planning on using one to replace the aging rubber aftermarket buttpad when refinishing the stock.
