I think it was about 1978 that they started making them cheap. I mentioned to my wife that I would like a Model 37 thinking the ones I had seen were about as good as the Model 12 Winchester. Well she bought me a M37 at Wlmart that year for about 150$ I believe. It was stamped metal. But the old thing has hung together and never misss fired, it occassioanally drops a shell since the intake and eject are the same hole.

lyle, i had to bite on this one. shotgun woman from way back.
okay, did it ever jam up on shells???? i know the problem you have. i personally would invest in a mossberg. through and through.
i have shot ithaca's and the faster you fired the more she jammed up. yes, it was a she . wasnt really impressed ever. mossberg got my heart .

Patches - if the barrel ruptured, you might check Numrich arms/ Gunparts, just search web, they have a bunch of parts such as barrels and about anything else, new or used, might make the old gun new again. The newer ones wasn't made as good as the old ones, but folks liked them.

Kell - would have to agree on the old Mossberg, it might rattle but it is the only one that you can drop in a hog lot pick it up and not have to worry about if it will shoot or not ... if barrel is not plugged it will shoot and function perfect !

Mines a model 37 featherlight, same crude engravings as described above. No, it never jammed, never had to dig one out, sometimes one falls out. I still use it duck hunting so I can hear when a shell hits the floor and just pump it again whithout thinking about it. Probably used it for a boat paddle at times too.
Mossburg is good. My son bought a new one that was won at a DU banquet when he was 14. He had to growup to it some though. It was big and bulky. But I think it was chambered for three or three and ahalf inch shells.
