Weight empty is a fast-handling 6 3/4 pounds. Chambering is 2 3/4 inch shells only, all 37s of the period were 2 3/4 inch and capacity is 5 plus 1 rounds. Length of pull is original dead 14 inches. Barrel is 22 inches including the spreader, 20 inches of barrel proper. This is an excellent shotgun in correct Viet Nam era Mil-spec configuration. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. We do not believe this shotgun has been fired more than 300 rounds. It is only faintly marked from loading and unloading. Note the bolt surface visible through the bottom of the receiver. The finish detractions are a result of handling and storage, not from actual use. Photos should suffice for prospective owners to judge finish grade for themselves. We rate this 37 as Very Good, since 80 percent of its original finish is intact by our estimate. Rear left edge of the traditional corn cob M&P forend has a moderate gouge. Wood is traditional 37 Marine treated walnut, all original. There is another old spot on the top rear of the receiver and top tang of the pistol grip, as well as light to moderate scours here and there. Metal finish is strong throughout with extensive scouring at places, most noticeably on the left side of the receiver. Metal finish is GI Parkerized except for the matte blue shot spreader. There is no disconnector, so this shotgun can be fired with the shooter's left hand only, holding down the trigger, if he so chooses or is sufficiently scared. We are unclear as to its exact military service record, because it has spent several years protecting and serving our fellow Americans in Jackson, Mississippi. This one's serial number is 371234xxx, which dates it to 1972. Stoner, the Ithaca 37 Parkerized M&P Riot Shotgun with the Duck Bill shot spreader was a preferred weapon of Navy SEAL teams during the Vietnam War.
