Yeah, the MC version is current production Ithaca wood for the Deerslayer shotgun which mounts a low scope. I chose it b/c it was the only stock wood high enough to use ghost rings with a cheek (as opposed to chin) weld. It's actually very ergonomic in use as the comb is a tad higher.

I would have preferred the looks if the comb were straight, but function over form...

Oh,Man,its Beautiful.
Can you get Stocks and fore end from Ithaca now?

 

[Claven2]

yes, you can, but you need to get it sent to a USA address and export it from there as Ithaca Gun does not ship to Canada directly.

Thanks,Claven2.

It's gorgeous!

 

[Claven2]

how do you get the production date?

There is a now out of print book that lists the serials by date. I don't have it, but it you post it on shotgunworld, lots of guys DO have the book and will tell you

Actually, what I like the most about this shotty is its the first ALL STEEL short shotgun I have had, AND it weighs in slightly less than an 870 (somehow?).

What turns me off the 870 is that there are no trigger guards available in steel - only aluminum or plastic.

Really nice piece Claven2!

WOW! Pretty! I got my old mans ithaca 37 when he stopped hunting (Used every season for 15+ years and never got cleaned once! Poor thing.) I've been looking for a rear pistol gripped stock and an open choke barrel for deer-plugging with no luck. Keep getting told they stopped production of the 37 and most parts. Any pointers boss? I'm pretty new to this computer searching/buying thing. I'm not picky about plastic, aluminum, steel, color, blah. It could be neon pink for all I care, spray paint is cheap. As long as she works good, I dont care how she looks.
