Ithaca 37 shotgun receiver3/19/2024 ![]() ![]() Outwardly, the Model 37 was of a refined, clean design with a seemingly featureless receiver housing the action. It was only after the war that production of Model 37s would resume. When World War 2 came to American in late-1941, Ithaca shelved additional production of their Model 37 to contribute to manufacture of existing pistols and submachine guns for the war effort. The shotgun was intended to counter the success of several Remington and Winchester designs and borrowed from the work of John Moses Browing and John Pedersen in the original Remington Model 17 of 1917 (refined in 1931 as the Remington Model 31). The product was based on design work begun in 1933 and related to expiring Remington Arms Company patents which delayed its official entry until 1937. The Ithaca Model 37 (M37) has proven a hugely popular pump-action slide shotgun since its introduction in 1937 (still in production today, 2013). 1937 COLD WAR KOREAN WAR MODERN VIETNAM WAR WORLD WAR 2
