Local antique dealer has an Ithaca Model 37R for sale. The M-37 is Ithaca's excellent pump shotgun, with bottom loading AND ejection--Making it a great shotgun for lefties. I'm somewhat interested. Cannot find any info at all on the 37R. (There is lots of info on 37's generally, of course.)
On cursory inspection, the shotgun looks "Okay," plenty of evidence of use, but in working condition.
So, what's with the "R" designation? Gun is a 12 ga, full choke, 2 3/4" chamber.
Any suggestions as to (a) what we have here, or (b) where to go for more info. The "official" Ithaca Gun Co. website only talks abt their new production. There doesn't seem to be an Ithaca collectors' group.
