Old Ithica Model 37 unretired

[Oldbird13]

I recently "found" my old Ithica Model 37 Featherlight Ser.#371433070 and I wondered what one might do to "get it ready to race again". It has been stored in a fairly decent Browning rifle case lined in sheepskin (I believe). The wood on the gun looks beautiful and I am trying to better understand what/whatNOT to put on the gun (both metal and wood). Any recommendations out there?

I think this might have been posted in the wrong forum. This may have been the one you were looking for. Perhaps a mod could help move it. Good luck with the old Ithica.

You are probably correct. First time I ever posted and screwed it up...just like my 1st marriage. Thanks!

No problem. It happens. We'll not mention the posts I've screwed up.

You do not mention condition of the metal. A picture would help. Are you wanting to refinish it? First thing, get it out of the case! Cases are good for transporting your firearm but not good for storage, even a good quality case. The lining can hold moisture. Main thing is get that old gun out shooting. While I am not fortunate enough to own one I have a very good friend who has carried his dads old 37 while we are out rabbit hunting for more years than I can remember. It has never failed him and being a featherlight is a joy to carry in the field.
