We’re discussing a Norinco copy of an Ithaca Model 37 trench gun.
My 30” full choke 12 ga. With hand checkered walnut was made in 1945 in Ithaca.
I predict that someday the classic American wood and blued steel pump shotguns will be as desired as Sterlingworths.
The Norinco, made in China, is probably a faithful copy in every respect. No matter how well it shoots, it’s not an Ithaca made in the 40s.
These things blast away at jugs of soda. Meh.
Pheasant season opens in 2 weeks and the “real” model 37s and Wingmaster and Model 500s come out and get carried all season, shooting at pheasant. Grouse. Quail. Duck. Rabbit, squirrel, deer, etc.
