I want to buy an old Model 37 Featherlite with the old "corn cob" style forend grip and have the barrel machined to accept Accu-Choke screw-in choke tubes. So far as I know none of the Ithaca 37's from that era ever came from the factory threaded for choke tubes. I had a Model 37 that was stolen some 40 years ago and I've always wanted to replace it for sentimental reasons. I have lots of these Accu-Choke tubes from my Mossberg 88. To do this, the guy doing the machining tells me I need 0.850" outside diameter minimum at the muzzle. The Ithacas I am talking about were manufactured in the 1946-1967 time frame. Does anyone have one of these older Model 37 Featherlites that can measure the OD for me at the muzzle? I need to see if the idea is even feasible. Obviously I am talking 12 gauge here.
