funny:D i will take some pictures and show you what i mean.it looks like the bolt should strike this toggle i spoke of to release the cartridge.....it also looks worn.:eek:
 
If it a recoil opperated version, try oiling the mag tube where the dampening bushing
sits on top of the recoil spring that slides over mag tube.
Also oil the part of the barrel that slides into the receiver.
It is very possible the barrel is not sliding its full stroke to cycle the action.
Too light of loads in a dry gun will do this.
Also take the mag tube apart to make sure its clean,
and the togel recess's are clean and togels move freely.
There used to be a gun shop in Dunnville Ont called "Sharps gunworks"
that was an Ithica dealer with new and used parts.
I have the phone number if you want it.
 
thanks leadslinger i`d be beholden to you for that.:cool:when i popped one in and tried it i really liked the gun.pinned to two..must have been doing something other than hunting........i halfheartedly presume:D.......brad:rockOn:

No problem, glad you got ahold of Ron.

He hand built me a new NOS Ithaca M37...used to be the foreman of the Canadian Ithaca plant and has kept the faith, all these years.

I've never seen a pump work better...he knows his stuff.

Great guy.
