I'm not big into buying new guns but if they would make a 20 gauge Waterfowl with a 26" barrel I might have to have one!

We have talked to Blackhawk/Knoxx in the past so we made our own using the ATI unit & manufacturing our own pistol grip with a build in recoil reduction system. We offer this on the HD models now. MSPR $649 on the 20" 8 shot & $629 on the 18 1/2" 5 shot.

Hi All :(
I would very much like to see Ithaca Guns for sale in the UK as i think the market for them would be
good. My shooting companions and my self would love to get our hands on them. The Mod 37 is the one
for us in 28- 20 bore with AA-GRADE WOOD and the gold birds boy that is gun to die for. I have 12 bore
37 made in 1962 it's a featherweight deluxe and is as good to day as it was in 62 i love that old gun.
So if you can't sell them over here can you ship them to us on a personal basis as the cash is waiting.
As i said we all want those 37- 28 bore guns over here.

P.S. OVER HERE IS 3 SHOT ONLY 2 IN THE MAG 1 UP THE SPOUT.

Sounds like a good idea to me as well.Auto loaders are very popular with most shooters/hunters.A 28 gauge version would be nice to see as well. :)

A recoil operated semi-auto. I've shot all kinds of autoloaders and my favorites are the recoil operated models, Auto-5's, Benelli's, they can't be beat.

Getting the new over/under on the market would make me happy, too.

A longer stock, especially on the 28 gauge.

Not to mention for competition too! 12 ga preferably but 20 ga also!

I'd like to see Ithaca bring out a "retro" M37 18 1/2" Defense gun. Exact in every detail. One that is virtually indestinguishable from the ones they made in the old Ithaca NY plant. Now that would be a feat!

Granted, The new ones are very close to original but still there is a difference, slightly longer receiver, hammer follows the bolt if the trigger is held, solid threads on the barrels which is non removable. All are improvements in a sense. I guess I just want Ithaca to do one 18 1/2" Defense that is total retro and sell it to me so I can scratch that old school itch with it.

I'd be compelled to buy a semi auto, SxS and/or ULT M37 if they were offered in 28 gauge.

I too would like to see the model 51 go back into production.

I purchased a 12 gauge in the 70's and it has NEVER failed me!

I watched my father struggle with a Remington model 1100, including one trip to Canada where he had a sky full of waterfowl and a "single shot" due to jamming of the gun's "gas ring".

The simplicity of the design makes cleaning a breeze and it can be field striped in 10 minutes with nothing more than a ball point pen to push out the pins holding the trigger assy. in.

I would very much like to purchase a 20 gauge version of the model 51 for field hunting.

You know, Ithaca has in their own right produced some of the most amazing and reliable firearms to date!

I'm really enjoying hearing about well used and loved firearms in service performing to expectation after sooo many years! So, I gues, keep doin that! :D

I like double duty firearms too, the "combat" or defensive shotgun. Threaded choke options would be cool, and I'd still like to see an autoloader too. I'd love to see a 22" vent rib threaded for chokes!

I'd like to see them bring back the "take down" barrels to the defense line. The quick detach barrel is one of the best points of the M37.

I'd really like to see the DSPS is the line up again. It was one of the best police shotguns ever.

Lastly, i'd like to see Ithaca try to convince Surefire to start making the 624 weapon light again and offer it as a factory option on the defense model.

I wish I saw this thread yesterday since I'm in the market to buy another auto 12ga.

I think Ithaca should tap into the semi-auto market by producing a quality, inertia based, 3 1/2" 12ga using the Stoeger M3500 style recoil spring around the magazine tube, and Ithaca quality to compete with the M3500 and SBE produced by Beretta subsidiaries. By using a similar design to that of the Stoeger, perhaps M37 stocks, and trigger groups could be used to simplify the manufacturing process.

I just think the gas auto would have to have a lot more R&D to get right, and even then is kind of a gamble. Plus keeping the end of the magazine tube open, extensions could be fitted allowing it to compete in the 3 gun matches/home defense, and hunting markets.

Hi,
I would like to see a non-ribbed barrel for the 28 gauge m37. I love my English stock 28 gauge with the vent rib 28" barrel, but I think a 26" barrel with no rib would be very nice for upland hunting.
