Bottom ejecting home defense?

[Arisaka]

Ithaca 37 is tha shiznit. Accept no substitute. Unless you have one and want to sell it because you prefer an 870. In that case, PM me and I'll take it off your hands for cheap...

[call-in]

I love my Stevens 350, it is an Ithaca clone.

PROs

• All steel construction. (except for the stock and forend )
• Ghost-ring rear sight, fiber-optic front sight.
• Affordable. ($230 from Big5)

CONs

• Heavy trigger.
• Hard to combat reload.
• Limited aftermarket parts/accessories.

I have shot shotguns, as a lefty for years, pumps and semi's, and never had an issue with them, so I wouldn't let that change what you are going to buy.

I have a 60s vintage ithaca m37 featherlite that I love, the action is super smooth it is quick to load, great gun, I plan to get one of their defense guns in the future.

Big5 has the Stevens 350 Security on sale for $219 until Nov 5.

Love my 37 featherweight in 20ga! Another one of JMB's classics.

I shoot left as well (bad right shoulder) though I'm right handed normally. I'm a shotgun newby, but I had no problems shooting my new Mossberg 500 left handed. The shells don't hit me in the face or anything. The controls of the Mossberg are ambi as well. The safety is a "tang safety" just slide if forward for "fire".

With a pump gun, you control when the shell ejects, so it's not going to surprise you or anything.

I'm a lefty and have no problem with my Mossberg 500. I prefer it to the Remington because of the top mounted safety. The shell ejection won't be a problem, it happens so fast and your face is far enough from the port that its a non-issue IMO.

Question would a bottom eject create a problem with hulls underfoot, if you needed to move forward?

As energetically as Ithaca 37's eject their empties, all you'd have to do is tip the muzzle up to near vertical before ejecting the spent round. If the perp was still standing after the first shot, just eject the spent shell into his face and knock him *** over teakettle.....

AHAHAHA RIGHT?! First time i shot mine almost made me jump....I was all " what the hell just hit .....was that the shell ? "

Ihave a mod 37 Ithaca 1972 in 98% condition but I'm havin trouble finding a tactical stock any sugestions:

Hi gfmallett,

What i've been finding is that the stock from the gun back in the 60s and early 70s is not the same as what they think it is now . Products from brownells , midway, kickeeze and others have products that are for " ithaca model 37 "

Now i have the featherlight deerslayer ... i'm not sure if that makes a difference in this case but it seems all the current model 37 gear from choate and others fit the current production models.

BUT

I'm admittedly green at this . You may be able to just swap all the furniture out no problem as long as they are still using the same single bolt attachment

I am a lefty and have a remington 11-87 semi auto police model. ejection is not a problem on the right.

I have the Stevens 350 as well and am very favorably impressed with its fit, finish and functioning.
