I wish these new owners much success! I have always liked the bottom eject and am thrilled that I can get one of these on a true 16ga frame. I'm saving my chips to get one from Santa Clauss. Too much of our heritage has fallen away. Another American Company building a really classy gun can only help us all  .

I hope that they can make a go of it! Aside from the M37, the've indicated that they may try to bring back the NID and the Lewis model with some modifications.

| This is my first post. Thanks for such a wonderful site. I am excited about the new Ithaca. They will be the only "true" 16 gauge producer of a pump gun. If they will fill to the ninche crowd they will do o.k. I know that I for one will buy a new model 37. I spoke with them last week and they said it would be this Sept. or Oct. before they will be avail. I have shot autos., o/u's, and sxs, as well as pumps and I have to say for an all around hunting gun I probably shoot the pump better than any. In the past 2 years I have taken 3 quail on a covey flush and 2 grouse on the same point with a 12 ga. BPS. The BPS has been a wonderful gun and I find myself hunting with it more than my citori however I am getting older and it is getting heavier, so yeah I am in the market for a 37 16 ga. If Ithaca will "cater" to bird hunters, for example sponsor RGS, or become involved in the newly formed quail forever I think that it would be a very good marketing "ticket" for them. |

| There isn't a bunch of difference actionwise between the Model 37 and the Browning BPS. Both are slicker than greased eels. Incidentally, I had my 1960's RVD model with the new 24" tubed barrel out for skeet this morning. This gun is rapidly becoming a favorite. I'm finding the forward motion of the forearm helps to naturally point towards an outgoing bird. I can't wait for a brace of pheasant to go up for me this fall. Dead a pair. |

The Browning has a pot metal trigger group, and is a piece of dung compared to the Ithaca.
Best,

I feel the same way the magnet feels when you place it on the BPS's trigger group-no attraction.
