Steve D Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) This can be used as a "guide". It all boils down to how much someone is willing to pay: But at least it is free to search and do it from home. http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=ithaca+37+16 Edited March 12, 2017 by Steve D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkln Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Not to burst your bubble but auto5 is one of the ugliest shotguns I have ever seen yet they are still pricey, about $800 if in good condition. I wouldn't buy it for a $50... OK, ok I would buy it for $50 just to sell it for $500 :-) Like Steve said, use gunbroker as a gauge. Good luck.

You/she should be able to get an approx. age on the guns via serial numbers...........get that and hang some pics and I bet we can come up with a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The shotguns are all solid, vintage models...I have owned several of all 3...All great shotguns.. Never had much interest in the SKS, but that's just me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think A-5s are BEAUTIFUL, and they handle like a dream !! Never used one that I did not shoot well with ! You're probably one of those misguided souls who thinks that the TC Encore/Contenders are attractive..<<YUCK !!>>... Just jerkin' your chain...Beauty is truly in the eye of the beerholder....<<grin>>.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am holding a beer in one hand and my Belgian Light 20 in the other !! On the OTHER hand, my first A-5 was a 3" Mag 12, and that was a great shotgun also... Killed a bunch of turkeys, ducks and geese with it, and also a few hundred crows , since that was back in my crow hunting days...I had a 2/34" handload featuring 1 1/4 oz. of # 6 or 7 1/2 shot that was pure poison on crows way out to past 40 yards.. It cycled the 3" action.. Good memories !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 for all of them, a bunch of factors besides condition: barrel length, type of choke (chokes, if variable) ventilated ribs? buck barrels or bird barrels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine from a friend for $600...It has been drilled/tapped for a receiver sight, so it would not bring top dollar, but it is a mid 1950s Belgian and is in very good condition ...Shoots good.....Kills bunny rabbits.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck hunters love the A5s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I believe so ..light a5 I only had a brief period to look at them as she can only show me when kids not home... A little to much interest in them by kids.. Kept under lock and key.. Will get more info soon . has several other Remington shotguns as well 1100, 11-87, 870.. Some are buck barreled and some are vent rib fixed chokes.. Just listed ones I thought would sell fastest for her and for most $.. Eventually all will be sold..

Pretty sure my brother has one in a 12 and said it hurts to shoot. I'd hate for your daughter get to turned off to shooting by recoil if that's the case.

I suppose if it kicked too hard I could give it a try. I think they are a really cool gun and always wanted one. Just a bucket list gun more than anything. My dad bought my first shotgun, a remmington 1100 12 gauge I still have today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodfather Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have a Belgium 12G have had it since 1986 my first 12G just redid the stock. I used to shoot birds with it but once steel became the law I put it up as a safe queen. Not sure what it's worth but wouldn't ever sell mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
