Ithaca model 37 12 gauge shotgun self defense / riot style
This video details the process of shortening an Ithaca Model 37 12 gauge shotgun for improved handling and aesthetics. The creator "trims" approximately 7.5 inches from the barrel, aiming for a more compact "riot style" firearm. They also document their first successful attempt at threading a barrel for a bead sight. While acknowledging the trimming might not be perfectly clean, they are satisfied with the outcome after applying cold blue. Future modifications, such as adding a metal heat shield, are also mentioned, highlighting a DIY approach to customizing this classic shotgun.
